The Northern Territory is home to two of Australia’s most iconic geographical features - Uluru (or Ayers Rock) and Kakadu National Park. Uluru is approximately 300 km from Alice Springs and Kakadu may be reached by road from Darwin in around three hours.

Other major natural attractions include the West McDonnell Ranges (near Alice Springs), Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge), Mataranka’s thermal pools and Litchfield National Park - renowned for its waterfalls and lush rainforest walks.
Darwin's Mindil Markets (which operate during the Dry season) are a favourite with locals and visitors alike, as is the annual Alice Springs Festival in August/September.
