THE NORTHERN TERRITORY

The Northern Territory is in the centre and central northern regions of Australia. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west, South Australia to the south, and Queensland to the east. The capital, Darwin, is Australia’s only tropical capital. The Northern Territory is known for its great, red outback, glorious Uluru in central Australia, beautiful and remote waterfalls and lagoons, and as a unique opportunity to discover, explore and interact with Australian Indigenous culture. It is believed that the Top End is home to one of the world’s most impressive rock art galleries as the area was settled by indigenous Aborigines more than 50,000 years ago.
