Known for its awe-inspiring landscapes and abundant wildlife, the Northern Territory is home to Australia’s Aboriginal people. The region’s must-see natural attractions include the sacred sites of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Framed by mountain ranges, the desert city of Alice Springs provides a comfortable base for exploring the outback with low-key resorts, cafes, and art galleries.
