Nothern Territory
The Northern Territory is a massive edge of spectacular landscape from the southern border to the northern tip. It includes an unfolding landscape from the red desert of Central Australia, through grassy savannah plains and lush wetlands to the palm-fringed shores of Darwin.
Darwin is renowned for its world-class fishing, relaxed, outdoor lifestyle and bustling markets that bring together cultures and cuisines from all over the world. It is also the gateway to Kakadu National Park. The Northern Territory is seen as one of the world’s last wild frontiers, and is perhaps, the expectation of adventure that draws visitors every year from around the globe.

City Destinations
Darwin
In the past Darwin has had a reputation for hard drinking and a casual outback attitude to culture and refinement. But in recent years it has become very cosmopolitan with fabulous multicultural markets, shopping centres, casinos, nightclubs, a variety of restaurants and of course pubs galore.
Alice Springs
Alice Springs is Australia's Oasis, the capital of the Outback and the most romantic country town in the world. It is where the Arrernte Aboriginal tribal group have lived for 20,000 years and where pioneer men and women gave "tough" a new meaning.
Uluru/Ayers Rock
Few are ever prepared for a visit to the Uluru/Ayres Rock and Kata Tjuta region. Uluru/Ayers Rock is Australia's most recognisable natural icon. Standing 348 metres high, the monolith has a great cultural significance for the traditional Aboriginal owners, the Anangu people.
