10 Must-See Places to Visit In The NT- Written by Kylie, Blogger at https://fearlessandfreerange.com
The Northern Territory is a magical place, and its stunning backyard whisks you away into a world that is unknown to many. The natural world of chasing waterfalls, swimming in rock pools, and hiking to see some of the best sunsets in Australia will leave you craving for more and never wanting to leave.
Have a look at these top 10 places in the NT and add these to your next road trip.
Uluru
Of course, Uluru was going to make the list. Big Red is a magical place and I believe holds a special place in every Australian heart. I recommend taking a pushbike when visiting Uluru so you can ride around the base. The distance is 10 kilometres and has options for you to stop and read the information signs and has plenty of photo opportunities. There is even a free guided tour every morning.
Kings Canyon
If you love hiking, then Kings Canyon is the hike for you. Take the 6-kilometre rim walk and bask in all the glory from above. The luscious rainforest walk through the Garden of Eden will have you feeling like you just stepped into a Rainforest.
Daly Waters
This quirky town is in what feels like the middle of nowhere. The street is filled with helicopters, cars, and the iconic Daly Waters Pub where you will find other travelers bras, undies, hats…. well basically anything that can and could be left behind.
Mataranka
Mataranka is famous for the hot springs that run just behind the town. The water bubbles from underground and is crystal clear so you can see the fish swimming below. Hot Tip- Take a pool noodle and get there early to beat the crowds.
Devils Marbles
These extraordinary boulders can be found along the Stuart Highway. The way these boulders lay, defy the law of gravity. The best part is that you can camp here! Make sure you stay and check out the sun setting over the horizon and see the bright orange boulders come to life.
Kakadu
Kakadu National Park is filled with gorges, swimming holes, and trails that will have you busy for at least a week. I do highly recommend visiting Cahills Crossing at high tide to catch a glimpse of the many crocodiles coming to catch a feed of the barra in the river. Then finish your day doing the Ubiru walk at Sunset, the view is breathtaking.
Litchfield
Litchfield is like the sister to Kakadu. Florence falls is a popular swimming location with a short walk to the bottom of the falls will leave you refreshed and speechless. You will love floating around the bottom staring up at the gushing water flowing over the large rockface.
Katherine Gorge
Katherine Gorge is a very well-known gorge within the NT, and for very good reason. It is simply stunning. The short walk to the top will give you an amazing treetop view of the river.
Adelaide River
When in the Northern Territory you visit the crocodiles. The Adelaide River Cruise comes highly recommended. This guided tour will get you up close and personal with some of the largest crocodiles in the river. These jumping crocs come within touching distance of the boat and give you the best view for photo opportunities.
Darwin
Darwin is a city like no other. It has this laid-back feel that makes you forget the days of the week. Grab a bite to eat at the Mindil Markets or eat crumbed crocodile at Cullen foreshore while watching the sunset. Darwin is the best place for a family-friendly holiday with so many free activities available.
