To see what regional Northern Territory can offer, choose a town to access key details and photos.
Australia’s Northern Territory covers one-sixth of the country’s
landmass. With a population of 200 000, the Northern Territory has a clean environment,
unspoiled oceans and welcoming communities. The Top End of Northern Territory
which includes Darwin traditionally has only two seasons, the 'Wet' and the
'Dry'. The 'Dry' falls between the months of May to October each year and is
usually rain free. Day time temperatures of around 25°C and cooler nights
to 20°C make for perfect outdoor living. The 'Wet' occurs between November
and April. This is a time of high humidity, thunder and lightening storms, gushing
waterfalls and flourishing green countryside. Day time temperatures rarely reach
over 32°C but a late afternoon storm is guaranteed. Night time temperatures
float around 25°C.
