Practical Information
The Northern Territory is an exciting
and exotic place, even for Australians. However, there are hazards
that are magnified here that all visitors should make themselves aware
of.
Please take the following advice:
- always carry plenty of drinking
water – you will need around 2 litres per person for every hour of
outdoor activity
- always wear a wide-brimmed
hat outdoors and apply plenty of highly-rated sunscreen to all exposed
skin
- always use an insect repellent
to avoid the possibility of mosquito-borne diseases
- always ask advice about
where to swim – generally it's safe but you need to be aware of possible
dangers
- always respect the local
wildlife – generally if you leave it alone and observe from a distance
it won't harm you
- always inform appropriate
authorities (park rangers, police, tourism operators) if you're planning
to do any unscheduled or individual activity
- always clean fish away from
creek and riverbanks to avoid the attention of crocodiles
