The Northern Territory is outback Australia, and facilities are spread accordingly. Darwin has good beach and aquatic centre options, but once you're on the Stuart Highway heading south, roadhouses become your lifeline. The good news is they're well-maintained and expect travelers to stop for showers.
Alice Springs sits roughly in the middle of Australia and serves as a hub for Uluru visitors. It has several aquatic centres and is the last major town with full facilities if you're heading to the Red Centre. Katherine, between Darwin and Alice, has the Katherine Hot Springs (free!) and a council pool.
Kakadu National Park has limited shower facilities - you're mostly relying on camping ground amenities or the Cooinda and Jabiru accommodation complexes.
Good to know: The Stuart Highway from Darwin to Alice Springs is 1,500km. Roadhouses are spaced for fuel range but can be 200-300km apart. Always plan your stops and carry water.

The Top End has two seasons: Wet (Nov-April) with cyclones and flooding, and Dry (May-Oct) which is peak tourist season. Swimming in natural waterways is risky due to crocodiles. Always check road conditions - flooding can close highways for days.
Darwin's wave pool at the Waterfront Precinct is free and includes showers - perfect for cooling off in the tropical heat without the crocodile risk of natural swimming.
