Funny picture book of some of the many front pages of our local newspaper. However, I think this is just a tip of the iceberg ... I am sure there are many more that could have been included. This book seemed to tick the boxes for many of my shelves ... including paranormal, sci fi, romance (if it includes a beer can or croc), adventure and mostly weird (or unbelievable)! A good NT souvenir or present to send to someone elsewhere to show off (or warn) about the place we live in.

I rarely buy a paper these days, but I’ve got to say, if I lived in Darwin I’d get the NT News daily.

A fun book.

Pretty much you would expect from the NT News. 15 minutes of fun with a tiny bit of background.

For a compilation, it's funny but the same croc seems to star. Obvious tourist gift.

Bits of it are amusing, but you're probably better off flipping through it and putting it down again than actually reading the whole thing. Or just following @TheNTNews on Twitter. Definitely don't pay money for it.
