One of the largest remote regions in the world, the Northern Territory is the least inhabited area of Australia; however, it is also the most curious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Showcasing unapologetic landscapes in their rawest forms, Australia\u2019s Top End offers you a different side to this diverse country, and it is orange. The otherworldly landscape of the Northern Territory will teach you tactics for survival. The roads are longer, the terrain unapologetic – it\u2019s uninhabitable, yet somehow people live here. This is the charm of the Northern Territory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Northern Territory travel guide will introduce you to the beauty of the Northern Territory in all its glory. Leaving Darwin behind, hitting the road here really means hitting the road; you might not see anything but rocks and forest for 1,000 kilometres. When you do find something, you encounter essential locations like Kakadu National Park or Alice Springs, the gateway to the Red Centre, that introduces you to arid adventures and Aboriginal culture in all its forms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep in the Red Centre is the King\u2019s Canyon, where Aboriginal elders will tell you themselves how important this land is to their people, and has been for over 20,000 years as you walk between the crevices in search of Aboriginal rock art. The King\u2019s Canyon is a spectacular walking experience within Watarrka National Park that is essential for any self-drive trip in the Northern Territory<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve saved the best for last – no trip in the Northern Territory is complete without an Uluru tour. Set in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, this impressive monolith is sacred to native Australians. Around half a billion years old, Uluru is the fabric of Australia, known for its red hue that showcases its sanctity in all its splendour around sunrise and sunset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is only the beginning of what the Northern Territory has to offer, let\u2019s delve a little deeper in this Northern Territory travel guide;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When to Go to the Northern Territory<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Territory (as it is affectionately known to Aussies) is a year-round destination. Depending on what you like, there is no real answer to when it is best to go to the Northern Territories!<\/span><\/p>\n

With a tropical climate in the Top End, the north of the north is always hot. For example, the capital, Darwin, never goes below 32 degrees Celsius! Here, you\u2019ll find two seasons, dry and wet. While the wet season fills waterfalls and creates the perfect environment for wildlife to thrive, the dry season is the best time to visit, as temperatures and humidity levels are more accommodating to activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Centre has a semi-arid climate that takes you on a cycle of the four seasons; summer, winter, spring and autumn – just remember they are the opposite from the west! In summer (December to February), you can expect high temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius, while in winter (June to August), you can expect frost at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some may prefer to visit in winter, as it will be easier to walk around during the day, however, others may prefer the warmer temperatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
