Welcome to Australia's land of contrasts - The Northern Territory The Northern Territory is truly a land of contrasts - from the beautiful arid centre, home to Ayres Rock to the tropical wildlife rich Kakadu and Litchfield Parks.  The "Territory" as it is affectionately known is a vibrant place, full of excitement and the wonders of nature. It is an ancient, expansive land full of aboriginal history - it will test your senses and sometimes take your breath away. Internationally recognised, the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park is one of the Nation's most prized cultural and ecological treasures. It is situated a little over 3 hours from Darwin and considered a "must see" when you visit the Northern Territory. Just south of Darwin is situated Litchfield National Park. Whilst much smaller than Kakadu it is still very impressive, is easily accessable and has a number of waterfalls and interesting features. At the lower end of the Northern Territory you can experience the truly remarkable Red Centre with Uluru (or Ayers Rock) and Kings Canyon.  You will be taken back in time when you visit this most ancient of lands. Why not sip champagne and watch the sun set on Ayers Rock prior to a Sounds of Silence Dinner under the stars of the desert. The Northern Territory is famous for its colourful characters and relaxed lifestyle. You'll be struck by the spirit of the people and how they relate to this ancient environment. Dont let the rugged vast open spaces deter you - you can travel in luxury transport of all types and at the end of the day you can relax in style. The age of the resident population of the Territory is young in comparison to the rest of Australia and this adds to the energetic feel of the place - join in the fun! Your trip to the Northern Territory will be one you will never forget.
