Northern Territory WeatherSouth Australia is a year-round destination that experiences high summer temperatures over much of the inland areas. Any travel in those areas at the height of summer should be done with all due care, in a roadworthy vehicle, well stocked with emergency spares and equipment. Carry additional drinking water, plenty of 15+ sunscreen and protective clothing. (Refer to the Australian travel tips section) Pay particular attention to the welfare of any small children in your party. Consider using any of the several tour operators to get to the sights off the beaten track if your personal comforts are an integral part of an enjoyable travel experience.
