Northern Territory

The Northern Territory extends over approx. one sixth of the Australian continent, however it is the least populated region of Australia. It stretches over entirely different climate zones, from the tropical north with the capital town Darwin to the deserts of central Australia with Alice Springs and Ayers Rock. As the name suggests, the NT is not a full state of the Australian Commonwealth. 

Northern Territory has two National Parks that are listed as world heritages, the Kakadu National Park in the North and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park close to Alice Springs.

One of the most famous attractions is the red centre with Ayers Rocks (the Aboriginals official name is Uluru), the Olgas and Kings Canyon. Other highlights are the Kakadu National Park with Aboriginal Rock Art and fascinating wildlife, Katherine George and Litchfield National Park. 

Whoever is in search of the loneliness with an Australia flavour will certainly find it in the NT. It is quite difficult to find busy places outside of Darwin and Alice Springs.
