Northern Territory
Welcome to Northern Territory
The Spiritual Heart
The Northern Territory holds the spiritual heart of the continent: Uluru and Kata Tjuta in the Red Centre, the ancient rock art and billabongs of Kakadu, and the tropical wetlands around Darwin. It's sparsely populated, deeply Aboriginal, and experienced on long drives along the Stuart Highway or flights across Arnhem Land.
