To most travellers the real Australia is the Northern Territory, 'the top end'. This torrid, brooding zone attracts the loners, men like Sid Smith from Dudley, who runs one of the loneliest pubs in the world, 600 miles from Alice Springs. His wife
Barbara prepares Devonshire cream teas in the sweltering heat for any passing trade. But in this vast area - ten times the size of England - there isn't much of that. The total population is still less than that of Brighton.
