The Northern Territory is a huge, sparsely populated area that lies in the tropical to desert climatic zones. The majority of this territory is wilderness areas or Stations which are huge farms or ranches, some of these stations are bigger in area than some countries.

The Northern Territory extends northwards for 1500Km from its border with South Australia to 'The Top End' and 800Km west from the Queensland border to Western Australia.

Like The Australian Capital Territory (A.C.T), this is Federal Territory, not a State with its own State Laws and Government. However, in most regards it is dealt with by the Commonwealth Government as if it were another state.

The Northern Territory boasts world heritage listed Kakadu National Park in the Top End, Alice Springs, the spectacular Katherine Gorge with walls more than 70m high and stunning Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Red Centre. It is truly an area of stark, stunning beauty and incredible contrasts.

Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory. Darwin is the most northerly city in Australia, and offers a wonderful fusion of both Australian and Asian influences.
