Overview

Take a trip to Northern Territory on your Australia vacation.

For many, the Northern Territory embodies Australia at its most romantic. A vibrant orange sun setting over a desert that stretches forever. Only the looming forms of Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/The Olgas break the horizon, and with them, an indigenous history containing countless stories.

Visit Alice Springs for a glimpse of what life’s really like in ‘the Outback,’ learn about the history of early white exploration, the crucial work of the flying doctor service in this part of Australia, and much more. Perhaps the best way to explore this region is on an excursion from The Ghan, the ultimate train journey through the Australian outback.

Journeying north to Kakadu National Park, and it can be hard to believe you’re in the same country. Lush rainforests and endlessly diverse wetlands showcase a very different side of the Northern Territory. Explore lands that have sustained Aboriginal communities for thousands of years. Feast your eyes on dramatic waterfalls and gorges. Cruise on the waterways of the Adelaide River, and keep your eyes peeled for the fearsome saltwater crocodiles of the ‘Top End.’

From the ancient traditions of its first peoples to the early years of Outback exploration to the fascinating wartime history of Darwin, there are countless stories to uncover in the Northern Territory.

Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around
