Be Rewarded and Discover Australia’s Outback

08-13-2013

 

Discover Australia's Outback

You can lose and find yourself in the Northern Territory, a place rich in Aboriginal history and rugged, natural beauty. Immerse yourself in Darwin's melting pot of cuisines and cultures and explore the rainforest and Aboriginal rock art of World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Stay in the Red Centre town of Alice Springs, and then visit the iconic wonders of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon. Cruise down vast Katherine Gorge and pan for gold at Tennant Creek. The Northern Territory also offers a huge array of wildlife, colorful outback characters and landscapes for outdoor adventure.

Lose your breath at Uluṟu, which rises 1,141 feet from the desert and matches the light and weather with shades so vivid they upstage the sunset. Learn about Uluṟu's cultural significance as you walk around its base with an Aboriginal Aṉangu guide. Get up close to the grandeur of nearby Kata Tjuṯa - sacred russet domes formed through millions of years of erosion - on the Valley of the Winds Walk tour. In Watarrka National Park, you can trek to the rim of Kings Canyon and swim in a waterhole in the lush valley of the Garden of Eden. Walk to Kathleen Springs, drive the Mereenie Loop or soar over the canyon on a helicopter.

Stay in the famous outback town of Alice Springs, which sits in Australia's red heart, just 124 miles south of its geographic center. From here you can bushwalk, four-wheel drive or join a camel trek across the rolling sand dunes of the Simpson Desert.

Soak up Darwin's balmy weather and the melting pot of food and cultures in the city's many outdoor festivals and markets. Then explore the region's dramatic history – from World War II air raids to Cyclone Tracey – in the museums and galleries.

See wildlife, waterfalls and one of the world's largest areas of accessible rock art World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Bushwalk, spot rare and spectacular wildlife and plunge into sparkling waterholes.

Explore the historic pioneering township of Katherine and see ancient Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park.

Lose and find yourself in the Northern Territory!
