Northern Territory Tourist Information

Having some knowledge of the northern territory tourist information is vital to anyone who would want to visit this area. The northern territory is home to an ancient landscape and ancient culture. The landforms of the northern territory formed hundreds of millions of years ago are breathtaking and have given rise to a culture that is estimated to be about 60,000 years old. This then makes the Australian Aboriginal culture the oldest living culture in the world. The aborigines take pride in their culture and make a fierce determination to keep their culture alive.

The aboriginal people warmly welcome visitors to "share our culture". Depending on the visitors budget, time frame etc. there are many ways to explore the land; visits any of the various galleries, museums, and craft shops that abound in the major centers of the northern territories. You can also take a tour of an aboriginal community, meet the artists and get to see how they work. Take a trip to the many northern territories national parks and view the centuries old rock art that are preserved in many of these parks. The visitor can also take a tour of theTiwi Islands (Bathurst and Melville Islands which are to the north of Darwin) which is the home of vibrant fabrics that are decorated with elaborate screen-printed motifs.

Throughout the territory tours are available and you can choose from tours ranging from a few hours to several days. This gives the visitor a good chance to experience the other aspects of the aboriginal culture; dance and storytelling along with medicines and bush tucker.

Given that almost 50% of the northern territory land is aboriginal-owned, many of the tourism ventures that highlight the aspects of the aboriginal culture in the northern territories are aboriginal-owned and operated. Many of the northern territory parks and reserves are jointly managed by the Traditional aboriginal owners and the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern territory.

The view of the Uluru/Ayers Rock is spectacular. It is a monolith that rises 348 meters from the desert with a girth of 9. 4 km. It is most beautiful at sunset when it changes its colour from red to orange to lilac. The awe upon first seeing Uluru/Ayers Rock grows deeper as it is explored-its weathered surfaces and also when you learn about its role in the aboriginal culture.

Kata Tjuta Cultural Center which is near the base of Uluru/Ayers Rock is a fine example of a facility which has been specifically designed in order to convey an aboriginal view point to the non-aboriginal visitor. Established by the Anangu people, the Kata Tjuta cultural center includes a central court yard where artists and the crafts represent two ancestral beings of the Anangu; Kuniya (woman python) and the Liru (poisonous snake). The centre also features Anangu interpretations of their diverse culture and land. At the centre you can get northern territory tourist information about tours, special events and other activities.
