Northern Territory (NT)

The State capital of the Northern Territory is Darwin. This city is located on a peninsula on the north coast of Australia and has a population of around 100,000. The NT covers 1,346,200 square kilometres but only has a population of around 200,000---approximately 1% of Australia's total population. A significant amount of land in the Territory is Aboriginal land and travellers must obtain a permit to enter those areas.

According to Travel NT, the Northern Territory is divided into 6 main areas with their surrounding regions:

Darwin / Kakadu / Katherine / Alice Springs / Tennant Creek / Uluru (Ayers Rock)

The Travel NT website contains detailed information on these regions including attractions, climate, transport, accommodation, maps and events.
