Northern Territory Travel Guide - Overview

The colossal landscape of the Northern Territory comprises waterfalls and looming gorges, arid red desert and staggering outcrops. This is a land that perhaps most epitomises the visitor's notion of the outback; it's Australia's Wild West. There's adventure to be had on crocodile-spotting trips, safaris and wilderness 4-wheel drive tours.

Darwin
is an intriguing city, a modern town as a result of the cyclone that devastated it in 1974. Attractively laid out, it is one of the best places to experience multicultural Australia, especially given its indigenous population.

The Northern Territory has immense historical significance to the Aborigines that inhabit the state, representing nearly one-fourth of its population. Much of the landscape was draped in dreamtime legend to ensure Aboriginal survival. Aboriginal guides can take visitors bushwalking or bush tucker tasting.

There remains a raw mysticism to awesome set pieces such as Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Corroboree Rock. Kakadu National Park is still replete with Aboriginal relics.

The outback is 'Never Never' land, a title bestowed because of the book, We of the Never Never by Jeannie Gunn. Locals claim you either 'never never' want to stay or 'never never' want to leave. Just as the territory is divided up into different terrain, the territory also divides opinion.
