A good pair of walking boots would be a very good idea if you are thinking about visiting the National Parks. I wore trainers and was very uncomfortable as my feet were not very well supported! Don't forget a hat either - with temperatures of 34-37C when i went in October you need sometihng to protect your head! Leave a Comment

Northern Territory enjoys long hot summers and generally mild winters. The things to keep in mind when packing are:
* the north (south to at least Katherine) is subject to heavy rains during the summer months.
* in summer sunny days have a very high UV factor and are capable of seriously burning the skin.
* summer is characterised by very high humidity in the north.
* inland Northern Territory (particularly around Alice Springs and Uluru) experiences continentality - ie. very hot, dry days and nights when the temperature can drop below zero.
People dress, informally, though smart casualš wear is often required after dark at theatres and the more sophisticated hotels and restaurants. Beach wear is acceptable only on the beach and in pubs and fast food outlets; casual clothing is customary in most places.
For summer months (October to April) pack lightweight garments and a hat. In winter, usually a lightweight overcoat and woollen garments are required. Remember warmer clothes are required in the centre. Leave a Comment

Sunscreen, decent hat, mosquito repellant, anti itch cream, Betadine (cream for open wounds)
During our Wet season (October to April) it is very rainy and really humid. Light clothes are best. During the Dry season (May to September) a light jacket could be needed. Leave a Comment
