The Lost City, Cape Crawford: bones of the continent rise from the monsoonal forest. The Top End isn’t just magnificent: its a vibrant, modern community that’s thriving and growing without devastating the natural environment as has happened to many regions further south. Tourists from around the world and Australia are joining Territorians in droves, to love the spectacular nature of nature in the N.T. Although we don’t have a campaign centre in the Territory, we’re still working to protect its beautiful wild rivers and vast savanna wilderness, following earlier campaigns that helped protect Kakadu and prevent the Jabiluka uranium mine. We’re protecting the foundations of success by protecting the N.T.’s environment.
