Let someone know before you go
It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.

Litchfield National Park is a must see if you're in the Top End.
It's home to several stunning waterfalls that cascade into crystal clear pools, iconic magnetic termite mounds and clusters of weathered sandstone pillars at the Lost City.
Swimming under the falls and relaxing in waterholes is a favourite pastime for visitors and locals alike.
It is a popular day tour destination from Darwin or Katherine, but many visitors choose to stay overnight in one of the campgrounds.
Beautiful walks leave from most popular sites.
