“Northern Territory Sketchbook has been written and illustrated by two men who know the Centre and Territory from long and intimate personal experience.  Douglas Lockwood has written several books on the area, and Ainslie Roberts is well-known for his Aboriginal Dreamtime paintings.  Both of them have travelled many thousands of miles between Alice Springs and the northern coast.  Their combined talents have produced a book which is the essence of the Northern Territory, its strange land forms, its unique traditions, in legends, people, history, settlements, and oddities.  For people who have visited the Territory, this book will be the perfect souvenir, while for those yet to go there it is full of intriguing sidelights of an area which has not yet surrendered all its secrets.”
