WELCOME TO THE NT With so many places to explore, it s hard to know where to begin! The Northern Territory is full of opportunities to explore natural wonders, experience a rich history, connect with culture and observe Australian wildlife. Discover the NT with the experts and let Territory Discoveries help point you in the right direction. DARWIN & LITCHFIELD As the Northern Territory s thriving capital, Darwin attracts travellers from all around the globe with waterfront dining, wildlife adventures, harbour cruises and rich historical experiences, which are all within a few minutes of the city centre. Litchfield National Park is just a short 90-minute drive from Darwin and is a favourite for the locals year-round. ARNHEM LAND Considered one of Australia s last unspoilt areas, Arnhem Land is waiting to be discovered. Stay at an ecowilderness island retreat, take a chartered fishing trip, go on a four-wheel drive adventure or just relax on one of the region s white sandy beaches. There s a new experience around every headland, on every beach and down every trail. ULURU, KATA TJUTA & KINGS CANYON As the spiritual heart of Australia, Uluru and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) have a strong cultural history ingrained in each experience. Explore the base on foot with an Indigenous guide or experience the Field of Light art installation, by Bruce Munro. A worthy detour in the region is Kings Canyon, where you can challenge yourself on the Rim Walk to take in the views. KAKADU Kakadu National Park is a natural wonderland; home to hundreds of different bird, animal and plant species. Discover Australia s ancient Indigenous culture with rock art that s over 20,000 years old, or soak up the views of the waterfalls and take a dip in nature s own infinity pool at Gunlom. KATHERINE & NITMILUK NATIONAL PARK Katherine and Nitmiluk National Park will leave you spoilt for choice in the region where the tropics meet the outback. Nature comes alive at Nitmiluk Gorge as you cruise, canoe or fly by helicopter along the Gorge. Learn from the land at Tom Curtain s Katherine Outback Experience or get a hands-on perspective of Indigenous culture with the Top Didj Aboriginal Cultural Experience.

TOP PLACES TO VISIT IN THE NT 1. ULURU AND KATA TJUTA Journey in to the must see spiritual heart of Australia and discover Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). Fill your days exploring on foot, jump on the back of a camel, grab a bicycle, watch the changing colours of a sunset or enjoy dinner under a blanket of stars. 2. ALICE SPRINGS Discover the origins of Alice Springs known as Australia s outback pioneering town. Visit the base of the iconic Royal Flying Doctor Service and take a tour around the museum. At the Telegraph Station Historical Reserve, learn about the restored heritage buildings. 3. NITMILUK NATIONAL PARK Cruise into paradise and discover abundant waterways, towering gorges and the cascading waterfalls of Katherine Gorge. With remote and dramatic scenery, Nitmiluk National Park forms the crossroads between the outback and the tropics. 5. DARWIN As the gateway to the Top End, Darwin encapsulates a laidback atmosphere and multiculturalism unique to the Northern Territory. Watch a magical sunset as you stroll through the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (April to October) or take a cruise on Darwin Harbour. 6. LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK Spend some time at Litchfield National Park and unwind in its tranquil setting. Swim under plunging waterfalls, meander through towering termite mounds and discover native wildlife only one and half hour s drive from Darwin. It s easy to see why Litchfield National Park is a favourite with the locals. 7. KINGS CANYON Surround yourself with 100 metre high sandstone walls and palmfilled crevices as you step deep into the heart of Kings Canyon. Witness a sunrise or complete the three hour Rim Walk and be rewarded with spectacular views stretching across the neverending desert. 4. KAKADU NATIONAL PARK Kakadu is Australia s largest national park with rugged landscapes, thundering waterfalls, lush wetlands and abundant wildlife. Take a scenic flight, guided cultural tour or wildlife cruises to experience the beauty of Kakadu. 8. WEST MACDONNELL RANGES The West MacDonnell Ranges, stretching 161 kilometres west of Alice Springs, is the perfect backdrop to explore the scenic beauty and history of the area. Whether you take a short walk or tackle the challenging 223 kilometres of the Larapinta Trail, this beautiful park of the Northern Territory is not to be missed.

DISCOVER THE RED CENTRE! Alice Springs is the buzzing small town in the centre of Australia with so much to offer. Visitors to Alice Springs are surprised by its café culture, contemporary indigenous art scene and laid-back lifestyle. While there, take a journey out to the West MacDonnell Ranges to take a refreshing swim in the natural waterholes. A trip to the Red Centre wouldn t be complete without visiting Uluru- Kata Tjuta National Park, known as the spiritual heart of Australia. Every visitor to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta will attest that pictures just don t do it justice.

Soak up the tropical capital of Darwin by wandering the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, cruise the harbour or take a day trip to Litchfield National Park; nature s very own theme park. Kakadu National Park is believed to be Australia s best kept secret, only a 3 hour drive from Darwin. This National Park is bursting with native flora and fauna, and Aboriginal rock art sites, some dating back 50,000 years. Katherine is where the outback meets the tropics, take a cruise, a swim or kayak through Nitmiluk Gorge. Arnhem Land is one of the world s last unspoilt areas.
