Darwin has many interesting aspects you can discover but don’t miss out on the many parks that the Northern Territory wants to share with the world.

Mention the Northern Territory and you conjure up images of the vast Australian outback. It’s all that – and more. The best way to explore the region would be on a self-drive but, if you want to be “chauffeured” around, you can book the many tours available. You’ll need at least five days to a week to explore the Top End (northernmost area of the territory) and the outback that’s Katherine.
