Road atlas and guide - Top End and Gulf (Australia) | Hema Maps

The Top End & Gulf Atlas & Guide from Hema Maps is a comprehensive travel atlas and guide to northern Australia, home to some of the country's wildest and most spectacular regions.

This first edition combines Hema's recognised mapping with substantial editorial content for adventurous travellers seeking a deeper understanding of the area. The maps have been field-checked by the Hema Map Patrol using the latest mapping data to ensure accurate coverage of roads, tracks and remote areas.

Written and researched by regional specialist Chris Whitelaw, the guide covers the Top End and Gulf, including:

• Darwin and the Tiwi Islands.
• Kakadu, Litchfield, Nitmiluk, Judbarra (Gregory), Limmen and Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) national parks.
• Arnhem Land, the Gulf of Carpentaria coast and the Barkly Tableland.

Beyond navigation, cultural and historical information explores Aboriginal cultures and the history of European development, offering an immersive and respectful approach to this distinctive region.

Designed for independent travel, particularly by 4WD, it provides detailed information on towns, national parks, accommodation, beaches and places of interest, along with five iconic 4WD routes. Trip-preparation advice, outdoor activity ideas and a selection of the best campsites complete the guide.
