Wild and untamed, wide-open and sparsely populated, the Northern Territory is a year-round destination with a little bit of everything for every visitor considering a holiday trip to this amazing and diverse land. The most quintessentially Australian of all the Australian States in many ways, no trip to Australia is complete without a visit to the Northern Territory, Australia’s real Outback. The Northern Territory is a place with landscapes as diverse as they come, where magical adventures await you as you travel through its centuries-old Aboriginal history, huge array of wildlife, colorful outback characters and rugged, diverse and timeless beauty. Before you start your year-round magical adventure, you must apply first for an Australia visitor visa, in particular an Australia tourist visa with the help of Australia’s top leading Australia immigration and Australia visa application experts, National Visas. A tourist visa for Australia will enable you for temporary immigration to Australia for a holiday, sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives and other social and recreational adventures. By availing of National Visas services, you will receive the best advices and well-planned approach in applying for your tourist visa in Australia, starting from the preparation of Australia visa requirements until the lodgment of your Australia visa, maximizing your chance of getting your visa for Australia successfully approved. Now, be ready to experience Aboriginal history in the red heart of Australia, immersing yourself in Aboriginal culture and its 50,000-year-old story, and write your own as you explore from Uluru, the spiritual heart of the Australian continent in the dry Red Centre, to the teeming-with-wildlife tropical wetlands of the Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks in the Top End. Extending all the way from central Australia to the Top End, start your journey through the tropical shores of vibrant Darwin, a melting pot of cuisines and cultures with its bevy of outdoor markets, eateries and festivals. From Darwin, experience a quick dip in crystal clear waterholes surrounded by tall uniquely formed termite mounds in Litchfield National Park. Then have a week-long exploration of the area’s rich and turbulent history recorded in its variety of museums and galleries. Or take a jaunt to the Tiwi Islands where you can enjoy a local football game, basket weaving and cultural painting. Trek across iconic natural landscapes, begin exploring World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, and discover a spectacular tapestry of wetlands, rainforest, wildlife and Aboriginal rock art more than 50,000 years old. Experience Kakadu’s magic in six dramatically different seasons, from thundering wet season waterfalls to the dry season flood plains, and plan to bushwalk, cruise magnificent waterways spotting rare and spectacular wildlife and plunge into sparkling waterholes. Or explore the many rich and detailed ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries or fish off the spectacular beaches of the Gove Peninsula and in the creeks, reefs and ocean of the Cobourg Peninsula in wholly Aboriginal-owned Arnhem Land. Then have a four-wheel drive adventure through Tennant Creek and surrounds, taking in the underground mine in the Battery Hill Mining Centre; the huge, precariously balanced boulders known as the Devils Marbles in the plains south of Tennant Creek; the huge cattle stations and sweeping savannahs of the vast Barkly Tablelands along the way. Next, travel along the Katherine River and canoe through 13 imposing naturally-created gorges lined by sandstone cliffs nearly 70 meters high of ancient Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park. And then take a four to six-day walk on the Jatbula Trail, camping out as you go and ending up at Edith Falls. Next, go to the Red Centre town of Alice Springs and from here bushwalk, four wheel drive or join a camel trek across the rolling sand dunes of the Simpson Desert, then trek through Ormiston Gorge and Pound, visit breathtaking Glen Helen Gorge and see rock wallabies at Simpsons Gap, discover different Aboriginal art styles along the Tanami Track and explore the rock art, artefacts and ceremonial sites near the small Aboriginal community of St Teresa. Finally, end your journey at the iconic wonders of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon with an Inma Ceremony performed at sunset by Anangu women in sight of Uluru or Ayers Rock, Australia's most recognizable natural icon.
