Northern Territory (NT) Tourist Information

The Northern Territory is often called the "Top End" of Australia, and is famous for its barren desert regions, historical Aboriginal locations and big beer-drinking thirsty inhabitants.

However, perhaps its most famous tourist attraction is Ayers Rock, known world-wide for its unique shape, colour and size. Also known as Uluru, Ayers Rock is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal tribes of the area. It has many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings.

Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site for its natural and man-made attributes. It is one of Australia's best known natural wonders and tourist sites.
