Hema Maps launches new product: Top End and Gulf Atlas & Guide
Hema Maps, Australia’s leading publisher of trusted and verified maps, is thrilled to announce the release of a brand-new product: the 1st Edition Top End and Gulf Atlas & Guide.
We created this new product to continue to make companion guides for our bestselling regional and iconic maps. This informative guidebook was written by travel writer and photographer Chris Whitelaw.
The new 1st Edition Top End and Gulf Atlas & Guide exists as an indispensable companion for anyone undertaking a grand expedition of this famous area, featuring Darwin and the Tiwi Islands; Kakadu, Litchfield, Nitmiluk, Judbarra/Gregory, Limmen and Boodjamulla* (Lawn Hill) National Parks; Arnhem Land; the Gulf Coast and Barkly Tableland.
Extensive cultural information and stories — along with historical tales from the Indigenous and European development of the region — provide prospective travellers a new and exciting way to learn about this unique part of the world.

Also included in this new guidebook are the top five 4WD trips, including: Boodjamulla* (Lawn Hill) National Park, Limmen National Park, Judbarra/Gregory National Park, West Arnhem Land: Cobourg Peninsula and the Hardies and Wildman River.
Each trip is coded by vehicle type with suitability symbols and relevant information regarding permit requirements and contact details. Track profiles show the difficulty grading, elevations and distances as well as points of interest (POI), camping areas and supply points.
This atlas and guide goes beyond the beaten track, offering insights into private camping areas and caravan parks, ensuring you have a range of accommodation options. There is also an index and a list of Accredited Visitor Information Centres within the Top End and Gulf to help you get the most out of your trip.
This 232-page atlas and guide is packed with more detail than ever before, all of which has been extensively field-checked by Hema’s Map Patrol and Alpha Teams.
