I'm in botany the fact that the Northern Territory has some of the most amazing plant life and is one of the most bi diverse florisitc provinces on the planet has me giddy.
If you get a chance, stop by the University of Sydney station on the King River. The station manager should be able to carry you up river only a little way, where you can see ancient rock paintings galore. There was the largest colony of fruit bats up that way, too. Watch out for the crocs which were endangered when I was there, but probably not now. The largest we saw when I was driving boats for the scientists was around 22 feet; bigger than our boat! It only takes 2 or 3 days of repetitive actions (like getting water for coffee at the same time for a couple of mornings) for a croc to be waiting for you, on the next. No joke!

That sounds amazing. I will definitely be looking for that.
