Northern Territory Tours

Australia's Northern Territory is huge ... equivalent in size to France, Italy and Spain combined ... and is a region where natural environments from deserts to tropical forests abound. If you're seeking the type of tourism that allows a connection with nature, the Northern Territory is difficult to beat. The contrasts and colours of this rich environment ebb and flow with the seasons, nowhere more evident than in the World Heritage National Parks of Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock) and Kakadu. The Northern Territory's flora and fauna is as diverse as desert blooms and lotus lilies, and tiny geckos and saltwater crocodiles.

The indigenous people of the Northern Territory continue to hold a profoundly spiritual, unbroken connection to the land that reaches back tens of thousands of years, yet can still be accessible today. Aboriginal people are becoming increasingly involved in the Northern Territory tourism industry, and now offer authentic tours that include activities ranging from desert walks in search of bush tucker to visits to the ancient rock art galleries.

The Northern Territory is famous for its diverse, colourful characters. Uncomplicated, larger than life characters are easy to find in our legendary outback pubs, cattle stations or country towns, but the Northern Territory today is also home to a diverse, multicultural mix of people all of whom are only too willing to share a yarn or two. It's hard not to fall in love with Territorians' open, down to earth, can-do attitude, whatever their background.
