Welcome to Northern Territory - Discover Top Attractions and Local Culture
Before European settlement, there were hundreds of thousands of Aboriginal people living in the Northern Territory, speaking hundreds of languages. The Yolngu came from Arnhem Land and the Arrernet, Warlpiri and Pitjantatjara were from central Australia. Hundreds of years ago, Australian Aboriginals in the Northern Territory established trade with the Makassar from Indonesia who traveled to Australia to harvest sea cucumbers.

I've walked a lot in the mountains in Iceland. And as you come to a new valley, as you come to a new landscape, you have a certain view. If you stand still, the landscape doesn't necessarily tell you how big it is. It doesn't really tell you what you're looking at. The moment you start to move the mountain starts to move.
Mount Conner, also known as Atila and Artilla, is a mountain located in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory of Australia, 75 kilometers southeast of Lake Amadeus, in the locality of Petermann.

Many Aboriginal cultures still exist in the Northern Territory, such as the Larrakia people, who are sometimes called the ‘Saltwater People’. They are the traditional custodians of the land and waters surrounding Darwin. Over 80 Aboriginal languages are still spoken in the Northern Territory. Around half of the land in the Northern Territory is owned by Aboriginal people, including famous national parks such as Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta, which are leased back to the government.

Australia's most sparsely-populated region may be better known for its national parks than its cuisine, but the Northern Territory has surprises to offer even the most well-traveled foodie. From indigenous bush foods to freshly caught seafood, the best meals here are often served at pubs, markets, and bakeries.
The Northern Territory (NT) of Australia is a treasure trove of awe-inspiring landscapes and magnificent waterfalls, offering a perfect blend of rugged outback and lush tropical scenery. Among the must-visit spots is Kakadu National Park, home to some of the best waterfalls in Australia. Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls cascade dramatically over towering cliffs into serene plunge pools. These falls are at their most spectacular during the wet season, though they remain a sight to behold year-round. Litchfield National Park is another gem, famed for its easily accessible and stunning waterfalls. Florence Falls, with its double cascade into a crystal-clear pool, is perfect for a refreshing swim. Nearby, Wangi Falls provides a picturesque backdrop for a picnic and a swim, surrounded by lush rainforest. The Tolmer Falls, though not suitable for swimming, offer breathtaking views from the lookout, with water plunging into a deep, rocky gorge. For a more remote adventure, head to the Arnhem Land region, where you can discover hidden gems like Gunlom Falls, known for its natural infinity pool with panoramic views over the park. The Northern Territory’s waterfalls are not just about the water; they are about the journey through some of the most pristine and untouched landscapes in Australia. Experience the best of NT’s waterfalls and landscapes, offering a unique and unforgettable adventure for any traveller.
