Northern Territory
The Northern Territory, more than any other state or territory, reflects
the real image of Outback Australia.
With three of the country’s star attractions - Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park, Kakadu National Park and King Canyon in Watarraka National Park - the
Territory is a must-see for all visitor to Australia.
As they say in the Territory, `you’ll never never know if you never
never go.` From the rugged Red Centre through to the tropical Top End, there’s
so much to see and do in the Northern Territory.
Holidays can be either as organised or as flexible as you like. The natural
scenic beauty and wildlife of the Northern Territory is unspoilt and unparalleled.
You get the best of both worlds - safety and world-class facilities, amongst
the nation’s most awe-inspiring and beautiful sights. Because the Northern
Territory covers such a huge area, there are some very different and contrasting
regions to see - making the travelling involved well worth it.
You can do it in air-conditioned comfort with very little effort or, if
you’re feeling adventurous, it can be as rugged as you like. Camping
or five-star luxury, everyone is catered for.
One way to maximise your time is to choose a base, perhaps Darwin, Katherine,
Tennant Creek or Alice Springs, and explore from there. Alternatively, you
can travel from place to place, with pleasant overnight stops to break up
the distances into comfortable segments, and to give you more time to enjoy
each area.
