An enviable laid back lifestyle
Territorians enjoy an enviable and laidback lifestyle. You’ll get hooked – incredible weather, short commutes, no traffic jams, spectacular starry skies, colourful tropical sunsets, and the people are friendly. We are just over 2 hours from Asia by plane.
More time to spend with family and friends, play sport, go fishing or camp under the stars.
On our doorstep are more than 50 national parks, nature reserves, conservation areas and marine parks including Heritage Listed National Parks Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta.
Many people in the Territory are just like you, they come from somewhere else!
Kakadu
Kakadu is dual listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its outstanding natural and cultural values. It is a natural wonderland – 20,000 sq. kms. of outdoor adventure, Indigenous exploration, dramatic vistas and unhurried days. Spectacular fishing spots and vast wetlands and billabongs for boating and we’ve got some great sites to spot some crocs!
Darwin
Offers everything from Asian food markets to open air movies, sunset cruises and good coffee. Darwin has a long history of bustling markets: Mindil Beach Sunset Market and Parap Village Market offering some of the best Asian food in town.
The Darwin Waterfront has something for everyone – apartments and hotels, lagoon and a wave pool, bars, cafes, pubs and restaurants, and endless family events. Chill out over a beer or glass of wine and some succulent oysters or take the family for an ice cream and swim.
Darwin Festival – Hot August Nights!
Australia’s hottest winter arts festival and each year the Darwin Festival gets better and better.
Mataranka
South of Darwin is the small pastoral town of Mataranka which was made famous by the novel We of the Never Never and is renowned for its sandy-bottomed thermal pool.
East MacDonnell Ranges
East MacDonnell Ranges stretch 150km east of Alice Springs and hide some of Central Australia’s most famous outback landscapes – gaps, gorges, bush walks, Aboriginal art and amazing geological formations.
