The Northern
Territory is truly a land of contrasts - from the beautiful
arid centre, home to Ayres Rock to the tropical wildlife rich
Kakadu and Litchfield Parks.
The "Territory" as it is affectionately known is a vibrant
place, full of excitement and the wonders of nature.
It is an ancient, expansive land full of aboriginal history -
it will test your senses and sometimes take your breath away.
Internationally recognised, the World Heritage listed Kakadu
National Park is one of the Nation's most prized cultural and
ecological treasures. It is situated a little over 3 hours
from Darwin and considered a "must see" when you visit the
Northern Territory. Just south of Darwin is situated
Litchfield National Park. Whilst much smaller than Kakadu it
is still very impressive, is easily accessable and has a
number of waterfalls and interesting features.
At the lower end of the Northern Territory you can experience
the truly remarkable Red Centre with Uluru (or Ayers Rock) and
Kings Canyon. You will be taken back in time when you visit
this most ancient of lands. Why not sip champagne and watch
the sun set on Ayers Rock prior to a Sounds of Silence Dinner
under the stars of the desert.
The Northern Territory is famous for its colourful characters
and relaxed lifestyle. You'll be struck by the spirit of the
people and how they relate to this ancient environment. Dont
let the rugged vast open spaces deter you - you can travel in
luxury transport of all types and at the end of the day you
can relax in style.
The age of the resident population of the Territory is young
in comparison to the rest of Australia and this adds to the
energetic feel of the place - join in the fun!
