Northern Territory

Join an APT Short Breaks holiday in the Northern Territory

Northern Territory (NT) - capital city Darwin

The Territory is where the rich ochre land meets the vibrant blue sky, dazzling and inspiring even the most experienced traveller. To stand dwarfed by the dominating monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock), and to wander the timeless domes of Kata Tjuta (Olgas) as the rhythm of Aboriginal mythology captures you is a startling sensation in today's bustling world. This is Central Australia.

And further north Kakadu's age-old rock art galleries form a story book telling of the land's proud and successful people. Tumbling waterfalls, towering gorges, wildlife encounters, and mythology and tradition are all part of the Top End experience.
