We looked at all sports of places when planning our honeymoon

Honeymoon Story: By Tom

We looked at all sports around Australia when planning our honeymoon. A very popular option is the Northern Territory. Although it is little bit expensive. We fly from London to Australia.

Getting Around the Northern Territory


Unless you have got plenty of time, making at least some of your journeys by air is the best way to deal with the vast spaces of the Northern Territory. You can easily fly between Darwin and Alice Springs and Yulara (the airport that serves Uluru (Ayers Rock)), and there are also small airlines that offer flights to Arnhem Land and other remote regions.

A trip on the Ghan from Alice Springs to Darwin or vice versa is also an experience not to be missed. There are also bus and coach services linking the NT with other major centres, and there are local buses running from Darwin and Alice Springs into the immediate areas.

There are three main roads that serve the Northern Territory, and deviating off these highways may only be possible if you have a 4WD vehicle. The Stuart Highway head south to Adelaide, the Barkly Highway east to Queensland via Mount Isa, and the Victoria Highway, which heads westwards towards and unsealed road into Western Australia.
 
 
It’s absolutely fascinating and was our best ever trip experience. Just make sure you do it in some comfort and avoid to going any restaurants and you'll love it. We use Air tickets travel agents to organize everything, from being picked up at the airport to arranging tour guides etc - it avoids the hassle that can come with travelling in Australia.

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
