The Northern Territory is the quintessential Australian experience. It’s an enormous wedge of dramatic landscape, roughly the combined size of Spain, France and Italy, which hosts a diverse profusion of wildlife. The journey from the southern border to the northern tip winds through a gradually unfolding landscape. It begins in the vibrant red desert of Central Australia, passes through grassy savanna plains and ends abruptly at the palm-fringed shores of the Timor Sea in Darwin.
