The Northern Territory is a federal territory of Australia, occupying much of the centre of the mainland continent, as well as the central northern regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west, South Australia to the south and Queensland. To the north, the territory
is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Despite its large area—over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi),
making it the third largest Australian federal division—it is sparsely
populated. With a population of 223,100 it is the least populous division on
the mainland.
Central Australia is the heart of Australia - the Outback - and a holiday
destination like no other. It's big in size, big on surprises and big on choice.
There's the famous Ayers Rock/Uluru, Kings Canyon, Palm Valley, and the East and
West MacDonnell Ranges, where you can make a cool escape from the heat in one of
the many gorges or waterholes. |
