Northern Territory
The Northern Territory is Australia’s real Outback and home to the iconic natural wonders of Kakadu National Park and Uluru/Ayers Rock.
Aboriginal people hold a spiritual connection to this land; their 40,000 year old story is shared on rocks and canvas, discovered in the sand and passed down through generations.
The Northern Territory is blessed with diverse and contrasting environments, where change is the only constant.
See Darwin, the tropical capital city of Australia’s Northern Territory.
It has a relaxed outdoor lifestyle and enjoys warm weather all year round. Perched on a peninsula with sea on three sides, Darwin is an excellent base to explore the natural attractions of World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi Islands and Arnhem Land.
Or visit Uluru/Ayers Rock, Australia's most recognisable natural icon.
The famous sandstone monolith stands 348 metres high and, like an iceberg, has most of its bulk below the surface.
It is located 440 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. 40 kilometres to the west of Uluru/Ayers Rock is Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas. This massive pile of rock domes dates back 500 million years.
Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta have great cultural significance for the Anangu traditional landowners, who lead walking tours that inform about the local flora and fauna, bush foods and the Aboriginal Dreamtime stories of the area.
