The unspoilt beauty of Australia is well reflected in the quaint state of Northern Territories. It is populated by the maximum number of Australian Aboriginals and still remains largely undisturbed and away from the western development.
Location
The Top end or the northern part of the state is mainly wetland, and remains tropical and humid throughout the year. The summers during November and April are mainly wet, whereas the winters from June to August are generally dry. The varied and rugged terrain of coastal wetlands and arid red desert nestles numerous historical sites, ancient rock art paintings and aboriginal culture and community life. |

Exploring Northern Territory
Northern Territory tour is an everlasting mystical experience. The contemporary fervent lifestyle of Darwin coexists with the ancient grandiose of world heritage sites like Kakadu National Park in Top End, breathtaking Ayers rock in the Red Center, stunningly beautiful Devil's Marbles, World's second largest monolith-Uluru, and many more such magnificent sites. Life in Northern Territories is as limitless as dreams. On a tour through the mystical Northern Territories, the adventure spirited people can seek refuge in activities like wilderness tours, 4WD touring and camping, eco tours, farm holidays, hot air balloons rides, "Ghan" rides - and have a relaxing Darwin stubbie.
Tour to Northern Territories is made worthwhile once you visit the world natural and historical heritage site, Kakadu National Park. It preserves the world's oldest and the best rock art and showcases fabulous flora and fauna. Savannas, the dense woodlands of eucalyptus and tall grasses, cover a major part of the area. The monsoon forests are like small pockets scattered here and there. The flying foxes and birds are the main attractions of these forests. Floodplains in the Tidal Flats region show vivid seasonal changes. The Stone Community region houses "The Arnhem Land Plateau" which is an abode to the spiritual drawings of Ubirr and Nourlangie. The creation of Kakadu National park, the 500 km escarpment, began 2, 000 million years ago. Sandstone layers built up a plateau to later be carved into an escarpment and scoured by gorges. Today, those gorges are aplenty with rainforests, washed by waterfalls and brimming with most exotic wildlife. |
