Ahh, yes.. north. All the desert.... er, beachfront.. property I have there is to the south. I do have a couple of ski resorts to the north though. You interested in picking up one of them?
I believe that you would have to go quite a ways north, possibly Darwin to see beaches ??? And ski resorts would be south and east, also a considerable distance. But things may have changed in the 40+ years since I was there.....
Patrick, Darryll should be accorded the title of an Honourary Australian - if he isn't an Australian already :-D . The Tropic of Capricorn runs through Australia about 40 km north of Alice Springs. The closest we have to Mount Kilimanjaro (5895 metres) is Mount Kosciuszko (2228 metres) in southern part of New South Wales (just south of where I am). And even the snows of Kilimanjaro have all but disappeared :-( . Cheers. -- When the going gets tough, the tough get SUSE.
