The Northern Territory is vast, spreading from the centre of Australia, near Uluru and the town of Alice Springs, to the coastal capital city of Darwin and its neighbouring isles. Regardless of its geographical mark, this is a territory rather than a state because of its small population. Just over 250,000 people reside here. A countryside feel makes Territorians some of the most welcoming folk you'll find. Strong indigenous values offer flourishing art practices, ancient storytelling and deep spiritual practices, while diverse national parks provide outstanding sceneries. Above all, the Northern Territory is fun. To venture beyond Australia's big cities to the outback of the Red Centre and the Top End tropics is to introducing yourself into an out-of-the-ordinary travel experience. The Northern Territory is a place that stays with you. Travel to Australia to witness the beauty that the Northern Territory has to offer.

ULURU

One of the most renowned sites of the Outback is Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) close to Alice Springs. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Uluru is sacred to the aboriginals of the area. Standing 348 metres high it makes for a magnificent site in contrast to the even desert scenery. Straddling 3 1/2 km long and nearly 2 km wide, it is a prevalent stop on overland tours.

West MacDonnell Ranges

Drive 110 kilometres (68 miles) outside Alice Springs to the gentle West Macs, a scene characterised by ochre soil, cliffs and royal blue skies. Swimmable creeks and semi-arid desert walks abound. Ormiston Gorge is a charm of the West Macs crown. Its four-hour Pound Walk leads tourists into an ancient vale, across a dry creek bed and beyond a gleaming waterhole skirted by ghost gums. 

Kakadu

World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park is famed for its theatrical waterfalls, and congregates all six of the top end's ecosystems: stone country, wetlands, savanna woodlands, tidal flats, hills and basins and flood plains. Take a chopper and see this beauty from atop the mountains.
