Overview

From Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge to the mighty Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), the rugged Northern Territory is home to many of the country’s most recognisable outback landscapes, and rich in indigenous history. This remote slice of Australia may be harder to reach than the east coast, but the treasures it holds are certainly worth the journey.

Darwin, Australia’s most northern capital, is a vibrant and laid-back city, blessed with a tropical climate. It’s a great place to get acquainted with the territory and meet its most infamous residents: saltwater crocodiles.
