Northern Territory

From the tropical coastline of Darwin to the striking deserts of the Red Centre, the Northern Territory is a state with spectacular visual delight. Perfect for a quintessential Australian outback experience and home to the World Heritage listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta and Kakadu National Parks, this is an area rich in cultural and natural treasures.

Climate

The Northern Territory features two very distinct climates. The Top End, including Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu and Arnhem Land features a tropical climate with an average temperature of 32 degrees year round and varying humidity. The climate in Central Australia, including Alice Springs and the Uluru - Kata Tjuta region typically follows the four seasons whilst the Red Centre generally experiences hot days and cool nights.

Autumn	12 to 27
Winter	7 to 21
Spring	14 to 30
Summer	20 to 36

Travel Tips

Kakadu is a vast wetlands where the landscape changes continually, and can be visited at any time depending on what you are most interested in seeing. The Top End summer from January to May sees Kakadu with a bright green and alive landscape, frill-necked lizards in abundance, and waterfalls flowing with great power. The winter sees a drying of the land and a cooling of temperatures, until the ‘build up’ from October to December, when wildlife teems in abundance around shrinking waterways. The Red Centre is best seen in Autumn (fall) and Spring when temperatures are optimum both day and night for walking and exploring.
