Northern Territory (NT)
Considered by many to be the last great frontier, the N.T. has the smallest population of Australia’s states or territories (under 200 000). There is a rich Aboriginal heritage here with the country’s largest Koori reserve, Arnhem Land found east of the capital, Darwin, abutting the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park famous for one third of the country’s bird species and vast galleries of Aboriginal rock art..

The comparatively short 5 000 kilometre coastline has a unique tropical beauty and there are 887 offshore islands. The coastal rivers accommodate thousands of migratory birds, the world famous barramundi (attracting anglers from the world over) and experience huge and rapid seasonal tidal flows. The main grazing lands are found between Katherine and Alice Springs (down the centre of the territory) although this area is considered desert or semi desert country.

‘The Alice’ was named after the wife of South Australia’s Superintendent of Telegraphs, Sir Charles Todd and is a modern town that doesn’t take itself too seriously. An example being the annual Todd River Boat Races - one of the quirkiest festivals in the country. As the river is usually always dry, the team of ‘sailors’ race each other running along the river bed! Heading further south, one reaches the Red Centre with the magnificent MacDonnell Ranges which are made up of many spectacular gorges, canyons and rock holes. The ultimate destination for most travellers is Uluru (named
Ayers Rock in 1873 by European explorer, William Gosse) and KataTjuta (formerly the Olgas) although the surrounding scenery is equally breathtaking. The rock is Australia’s most identifiable natural icon rising 348 metres above the ground and reaching 6 kilometres below the earth’s surface. It is a true monolith as it has no joints. |

Australia’s northern outpost, Darwin, rebuilt after Cyclone Tracy devastated the city in 1974, still retains a colonial atmosphere and interesting feel due to being the country’s front door to Asia and its diverse Aboriginal culture. It is a lovely, green city built on the land of the Larrakia Aboriginal people and surrounded on three sides by the Timor Sea. |
