Northern Territory

The Northern Territory - The Outback State - is the least populated, most barren and remote region of Australia. You will find here the real Australia, vast dry flatlands as far as the horizon reaches. You can divide the Northern Territory between the wet and monsoonal northern region - The Top End - and the dry and arid remote area of the outback - The Red Center.
The Northern Territory is famous for two main attractions. The most popular monolith of the world the Uluru (Ayers Rock) as well as the biggest national park of Australia, the Kakadu National Park which belongs to the World Heritage.

Despite the breathtaking flora and fauna dangers are lurking everywhere making NT the most dangerous state. Numerous crocodiles can be found in the rivers remaining during the dry season and the remoteness and long distances should not be underestimated when travelling. You should always carry enough water, petrol, reliable maps and a radio if you travel through remote areas. Try to avoid travelling at night because there are lots of animals around and especially cows and kangaroos are crossing the roads.

Sometimes you will see big trucks, about 50m long, the road trains. They are hauling lots of goods (petrol, food, water etc.) to remote areas.
