The Northern Territory is a cultural jigsaw of ancient Aboriginal custom dating back tens of thousands of years. A visit to the Northern Territory challenges visitors' understanding of the world.

National Parks
Kakadu National Park
The name 'Kakadu' comes from an Aboriginal floodplain language called Gagudju which was one of the languages spoken in the north of the park at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Kakadu is a cultural landscape. It was shaped by the spiritual ancestors of Aboriginal people during the
Creation Time. These ancestors or 'first people' journeyed across the country creating landforms, plants,
animals and Bininj/Mungguy* (Aboriginal people). They brought with them laws to live by: ceremony, language
, kinship and ecological knowledge. They taught Bininj/ Mungguy how to live with the land and look after the country.
Uluru National Park - Located 478km.south-west of Alice Springs
At its centre is the largest monolith in the world, Ayers Rock. Yulara Village serves as a touring centre for the
region. Spectacular and unique scenery with walks, the climb to the summit, and numerous species of flora and fauna.

Equivalent in size to France, Italy and Spain combined, it's not surprising the Northern Territory is blessed with an abundance of natural environments.
This is an environment that ebbs and flows with the seasons, of contrast and colour, where change is the
only constant. Of awe inspiring iconic wonders - the World Heritage National Parks of Kakadu and Uluru-Kata
Tjuta (Ayers Rock). Of flora and fauna as diverse as desert blooms are to lotus lilies and the fearsome saltwater crocodile is to the Brolga, the elegant dancing bird that is our emblem.

Port of Darwin - Northern Territory / Darwincity.net - on Australia's far north-western coastline
Darwin has the largest proportional population of Indigenous Australians of any Australian capital city, and a
significant percentage of the people in Darwin are recent immigrants from South and East Asia, as such Darwin is often called the "multicultural capital of Australia".
