Northern Territory 4x4 Safaris
4x4 Safaris
A most memorable way to experience the remote Northern Territory is to take to the road in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Roads in the vast state include sealed, unsealed and rough 4x4 adventure routes, and the Northern Territory Tourism Commission has some exciting recommended itineraries for those wishing to explore. The main tourist attractions, like Alice Springs, Uluru, Tennant Creek and the national parks, are accessible by good sealed roads. Off the beaten track, however, there are some exciting opportunities to follow, for example, the "Explorer's Way", which follows the path of John McDouall Stuart, famous explorer who was first to traverse the continent in 1862. A shorter journey, called "Nature's Way", winds from Darwin through a wetland wilderness steeped in Aboriginal culture and pioneering history.
