Northern Territory – heart of Australia.  The natural overwhelming skyscrapers made out of rock standing proud under a million stars shining clear and bright in the night sky. Aboriginal presence is strong with over 60,000 years of cultural and spiritual connection and echoes from the past in each rock and landmark.

It is a must to visit the Top of Australia. Commencing with Darwin where this cosmopolitan city boasts an array of different ethnic groups and a tremendous variety of restaurants to match.  With a kaleidoscope of rainforests, plunge pools, gigantic termite mounds, and the magnificent sandstone gorges of the Katherine Gorge one will be amazed.

And not to forget the number of untouched wetlands, birdlife and fishing in the majestic Mary River, the rushing waterfalls and the untamed beauty of the Kakadu National Park and the Gove Peninsula.

There is much exiting things to do in the Northern Territories from scenic charters and Safaris to the outback, boat cruises through the magnificent gorges, walking trails through the many natural parks with incredible bird and animal life.  Or enjoy the friendly folk and cosmopolitan relaxed atmosphere at each of the unique towns.
