Weekend Breaks to The Northern Territory

The Northern Territory is the least populated of the Australian states, being home to just 1% of the total population, yet it covers 1/5 of Australia’s landmass.


The Northern Territory can be divided into its Red Centre, where you will find the iconic Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Alice Springs, the Top End, a tropical wetland of National Parks, the territory capital Darwin, and loosely the “bit in between” which connects Alice Springs with the coast.

Officially, the Northern Territory is not a state – previously it has come under the administration of New South Wales and South Australia, and by the Federal Government but has been self-governed since the late 1970s, though Canberra does take more of an active part in the administration of the Northern Territory than it does in that of the other states.

The Northern Territory can be split into distinct regions – Darwin and its surrounds, The Top End (Kakadu and Arnhem Land), Katherine, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, and the Red Centre
