A place of vast, wild beauty and remarkable extremes. The tropical wetlands, waterfalls and Wet Season of the Top End are in stark contrast to the dry, arid Red Centre with its dunes, open plains and rugged ranges. Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Kings Canyon, Litchfield National Park, barramundi fishing, crocodile spotting, wetlands cruises, Aboriginal rock art galleries, a night under a star filled outback sky... just a few of the memorable highlights in the Northern Territory.
