Northern Territory Holidays
australia
The Top End is wild and beautiful - and for many this is the real Australia. Darwin, Australia’s northernmost city, basks in a multicultural tropical atmosphere. A three-hour drive to the east lies flood plains and remarkable waterfalls of Kakadu National Park – one of the country’s star attractions and a haven for unique Australian wildlife.
Each region of the Northern Territory boasts its own attractions and with great distances between the Red Centre and Top End, it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a trip in its own right. The Red Centre, home to spiritual Uluru, offers a true taste of the outback, whilst the tropical Top End is bursting with greenery and offers waterfalls and hiking galore.
