Northern Safari is a 1956 Australian documentary film produced, directed, and narrated by adventurer Keith Adams. The film chronicles a six-month journey undertaken in 1955 by Adams, his wife Audrey, his sister Margaret, and their fox terrier, Tiger. The expedition traversed from Perth across the Gibson Desert to the Gulf of Carpentaria, capturing the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Australia's remote regions.
Northern Safari is widely considered the first Australian nature adventure film, predating the works of later Australian adventurers and filmmakers such as Malcolm Douglas, the Leyland Brothers, Harry Butler, and Steve Irwin.
