Forget the beach; freshwater swimming holes, empty desert and red canyons cracked into the earth are where it’s at. The Northern Territory has all of this in abundance, along with plenty of opportunities to learn about and engage with the world’s oldest surviving culture, that of Indigenous Australians. When it comes to nature, nothing compares to the NT. Nothing even comes close. Don’t believe us? These 10 photos will have you convinced of the territory’s status as a natural theme park.
