WALK INTO THE DESERT in search of bush tucker with an Aboriginal tourist guide and you’ll get a pretty good picture of the essence of Northern Territory. You’ll experience a land full of contrasts; colours from bright blues to burnt orange, emotions from hope to harsh reality and climates from tropical in the Top End to desert in the Red Centre.

The characters you meet will be as quirky as the legendary Outback pubs, cattle stations and country towns. This is the real Outback in all its vast, open glory. NT is the size of France, Spain and Italy put together – so there’s lots to explore from Darwin on the coast, to Uluru, its spiritual heart. Watch the sun set at Uluru or go Crocodile Dundee on a river safari.
