A great little museum, but best of all, the Five Rivers Lookout. If you are dragging a van, leave it in town. It is an easy drive for ordinary ca...

I wasn' born in the NT, but did a lot of growing up there. I got my "C" class license to drive road trains at age 17, by just driving around the block in the family ute. That was a long time ago.
