Northern Territory

4.4
Nature Wildlife Museums
A largely unpopulated, parched land of deep red desert, spectacular rock formations, and small, isolated settlements, Northern Territory has perhaps the most distinctively Australian aesthetic of all the country’s states. The region’s towns and cities are clustered around the Stuart Highway--the iconic road that serves as Northern Territory’s main artery--rather than the coastline, as is normally the case in Australia. Northern Territory is in Australia. When using our Australia trip itinerary builder site , you're building your holiday based on your own interests, visitor reviews, and the informed opinions of our well-traveled writers.
