Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following are a few brief excerpts from this guide, written by a lifelong resident of Australia. She covers everything you might want to know about this part of Australia - guaranteed! The places to stay, from budget to luxury, rentals to B&Bs, the restaurants, from fast food to the highest quality, the beachwalks and bushwalks, the wildlife and how to see it, exploring the country by air, on water, by bike, and every other way. Australia's Northern Territory is a vast land of contrasts, stretching from the beautiful reefs and tropical rainforests at the very top of the country down through the amber deserts and dusty golden plains of the Red Centre. In the north, the land is edged by a melding of languid mangrove swamps and smooth white beaches. Brilliant corals spread out beneath the waters, lining coves split by wide brown estuaries. Rivers snake from the coast down through thick woodlands and deep canyons, dwindling in width as they reach the drier plains. Here, the north Australian Outback is the true, endless Land of the Never Never, so famously coined by author Jeannie Gunn her We of the Never Never novel of Outback station life. Quite simply, those who live here, or who have stumbled across the fascination of its true beauty, can never, never leave it. Halfway down through the territory are the great, ochre-colored deserts, where the fine red earth is splashed with random thatches of spiny grass and clusters of rough-chiseled boulders. All you can see to the horizon at noon is blood-red earth and pale blue sky, the vast expanse only interrupted by the low, green-gold peaks of the MacDonnell Ranges at the far southern edge of the region. Their rumpled slopes hide pockets of waterholes and huge, shallow lakes, all of which erupt with animal activity after the rains. Near the base of the territory, almost at the border of South Australia, is the great red monolith of Uluru, the country's most famous sight which pushed up through the surface millions of years ago. It's impossible to either generalize this near-rectangular region's very different environments or to completely describe each one's individual natural beauty and character. Suffice it to say that it's a place you will never forget, a remote territory filled with everything a traveler could possibly want -adventures on water, in the forests, on the rivers, and in the deserts. In fact, it's an adventure to get to pretty much anywhere when you're here. Bushwalking: Charles Darwin National Park. Right along the edge of Darwin Harbour, this large park combines 3,584 acres/1,280 hectares of coastal environments, rivers, mangrove swamps, and open forests linked by easy trails. Interpretive displays highlight local Aboriginal and World War II sights, and there are paved walkways and bike paths for strollers and wheelchairs. Bring your camera to the lookout platform, from where there are splendid views of the city from across Francis Bay. Ranger-guided walks also run weekly, and there are picnic areas with grills. It's open daily 7 to 7; the historic display is open 8 to 5. To get here, drive three mi/51/2 km east of Darwin on Tiger Brennan Drive to Bowen Road and Winnellie, then turn south through the gates. East Point Reserve: This is the place to warm up your bushwalking boots. Lake Alexander, a man-made saltwater lake, is spread through a 554-acre/198-hectare expanse of close-knit forests and mangrove swamps. Trails run through the woods and along the cliffs, where west-facing beaches lining a panorama of Fannie Bay span a gorgeous setting for late-afternoon picnics. Sections of open, groomed parklands also have walking and bike paths, and you can swim and boat in the lake. The East Point Military Museum (Sightseeing, below) is also on the grounds. It's free to explore the reserve and lake area, which are open daily 5 am to 11 pm. To get here, take East Point Road to Fannie Bay.

Book excerpt: Modern Frontier is a study of Australia's Northern Territory in the 1950s using an interdisciplinary approach that takes in environmental, historical and cultural history. Through a series of chapters from a number of contributors, a decade in Australian history is revealed from a Territory perspective. The editors have brought together a diverse range of authors, experts in their fields, who provide a fascinating insight into aspects of Australian history and policy in the north. The decade that brought issues of assimilation and Aboriginal culture to the national stage, against a backdrop of the Cold War, had the Northern Territory as its theatre of representation. This book explores a period that saw a federal experiment to normalize the north, the black half of a white Australia, across a vast geographic region with diverse population; the results are often surprising and offer new insight into this period in Australian history. The editors are three historians with a wide experience of researching and writing Territory history. Modern Frontier provided them an exciting opportunity to work with a range of authors representing different disciplines and perspectives, on a subject where the issues still powerfully resonate today, more than half a century on. "...A multitude of facets in Territory affairs a half-century ago. It's a new view...a rich, often provocative one." Professor Alan Powell, author of Far Country.

Book excerpt: [http://www.cdu.edu.au/cdupress/books/far-country.htm] This fifth edition of the classic history has been revised to bring the Territory story into the 21st Century. A.T. Yarwood, on the first (1982) edition of Far Country: Powell has achieved an outstanding success. He writes with economy, power and humanity of all the main phases of the Territory's history, starting with the coming of the Aborigines. He moves easily from the broad sweep of the geographical and political context to the sharp focus of personality and action. Don Garden on the fourth (2000)edition. This is now effectively a classic history. Far Country is a fascinating and admirable history of the Northern Territory. With commanding sweep, Powell places this remote outpost within the broader perspective of world events, whether it be expanding Asian empires, European trading relations and wars, or South Australian and federal politics. It ranges broadly over the expected themes of a regional history, Aboriginal society. European exploration and the early European colonial settlements, race relations, the struggle to establish viable industries, urban settlements, politics, local cultural elements, literature and some of the significant individuals. But the context of the Territory adds piquancy to the story because of its environmental and human uniqueness. To an observer from the south, it is a far country. Alan Powell is Emeritus Professor of History at Charles Darwin University. In addition to Far Country, he is the author of Patrician Democrat, The Shadow's Edge, War By Stealth, The Third Force and was the General Editor of The Northern Territory Dictionary of Biography, Volume 1.
