Northern Territory

Australia's Red Centre and tropical Top End, bringing together Uluru, Kakadu's wetlands and Aboriginal culture.

The Northern Territory runs through the middle and north of Australia. Darwin, the capital in the north, has a tropical climate, while the south is the arid Red Centre. Key highlights include Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Kings Canyon, the MacDonnell Ranges around Alice Springs, and, in the north, Kakadu National Park and Nitmiluk Gorge, all steeped in deep Aboriginal cultural heritage. The north is best visited in the dry season (about May–Oct), while the Centre is best avoided in midsummer. Darwin, Alice Springs and Ayers Rock airports are the main gateways.
