Visit Darwin in the Green Season The Top End of the Northern Territory is one of the last remaining genuine Outback regions. From its tropical capital Darwin, visitors have access to some of the Northern Territory’s most famous attractions. The World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park with its internationally recognised wetlands, wildlife and Aboriginal art sites is just three hours drive east. Even closer is the fishing mecca of the Mary River Wetlands, and Litchfield National Park with its rainforest, plunge pools and termite mounds.

Arnhem Land, owned by the Territory’s indigenous people, is an untamed wilderness occupying over half the region. Independent travellers should use the Explorer Highway and Nature's Way roads which have information stands at roadside stops.
