The ‘Top End’ of Australia

Welcome to the Northern Territory, with its popular destinations that include the iconic natural wonders of the heritage listed Kakadu National Park, encompassing the majestic rainforest of the tropical far north, through to the desert red sands of the arid centre with its monolith rocks of Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (formerly the Olgas) and Mount Connor.

A vacation to the Northern Territory will help you keep your ‘Holiday Mojo’ longer. For those who have not made the time to visit, find out why so many people keep coming back. Now is the time to start your planning for that memorable holiday, with the NT offering many outback adventure and memorable getaway destinations. It is the perfect place to refresh the body, revitalise the mind and to share the experience with family and friends.

Those planning to visit the northern end of the NT that includes Darwin and Kakadu should be aware that there are two distinct seasons, referred to as ‘the wet’ and ‘the dry’. The wet season occurs approximately from November to March, whilst the dry occurs from April to November.

Central Australia has four recognisable seasons: spring (September to November), summer (December to February), autumn (March to May), and winter (June to August).

The indigenous people however, recognised many more seasons, being more in tune with the land. For those seeking to experience Aboriginal art and culture, there are many tour opportunities and experiences, as well as a plethora of galleries and cultural centres to whet your appetite.

Alice Springs is also a popular base from which to visit the numerous nearby attractions, with the East MacDonnell and West MacDonnell ranges stretching some 644 km either side of the Alice, encompassing numerous gorges and waterholes, as well as the world famous ‘Larapinta Trail’.

Heading further north is the UFO centre of Australia, Wycliffe Well, Tennant Creek, Mataranka, Katherine and Arnhem Land, just to name a few

Comprising one-sixth of Australia, with over 50 percent of the Territory classed as Aboriginal land, come and enjoy the experience as the Aboriginal people share with you their arts and culture, opening their door onto the wonders of an ancient landscape that contains woodlands, tropical rainforests, deserts and semi-arid plains.
