Northern Territory holidays

Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia

If, for you, Australia is synonymous with the Outback, the Northern Territory is everything you’ve been envisaging and more. Beyond the city of Darwin and idiosyncratic frontier towns like Alice Springs and Katherine, it’s a fissured, unforgiving land of bronzed earth. Our specialists will show you how you can experience the Northern Territory at its purest. They’ll suggest ways you can journey beyond Uluru (rewarding though it is) and tap into an even wilder Outback.

You could go walkabout on hiking trails in Nitmiluk National Park. Aboriginal culture is at its richest in the Northern Territory, and you can examine sacred rock art sites in Arnhem Land, only accessible via a permit from its Aboriginal custodians. Would-be ranchers can join in with mustering cattle at the Bullo River Station (which you reach by plane). And, the landscapes here are far from arid. On a holiday in the Northern Territory, you could cruise the ‘yellow water’ floodplains of Kakadu National Park in search of salties (saltwater crocodiles), explore the rainforest and natural pools of Litchfield National Park, or trek to the so-called ‘Garden of Eden’ that is Kings Canyon and Watarrka National Park.
