Darwin & Top End

Anchored by Australia's only tropical capital, Darwin (Aboriginal name: Garramilla; pronounced: garr-ah-mill-ah), the Top End is rich with cultural heritage, lush wilderness and astounding natural beauty. Here, you'll explore local art galleries that offer a connection to the region's Aboriginal roots and bask in the relaxed vibe of the seaside city. Ideally positioned for exploration, Darwin is the gateway to iconic Northern Territory landscapes, from the World Heritage–listed Kakadu National Park and the untamed beauty of Arnhem Land to the cascading waterfalls and refreshing waterholes of Litchfield National Park.

Uluru & the Red Centre

Rising from the vast expanse of the red desert, Uluru is roughly the size of the entire area of Central Park and is taller than the Eiffel Tower. In addition to being a natural wonder, Field of Light, Sounds of Silence and Wintjiri Wiru are three must-do experiences that will wow your senses. Uluru holds deep cultural significance for Australia's Aboriginal peoples and captivates all who visit with its powerful presence. West of Uluru lies a captivating collection of rounded rocks called Kata Tjuta. Join a cultural tour to learn about the sacred history or explore the many walking trails on your own. The 36 domed boulders glow at sunrise and sunset—a natural light show you won't want to miss. To really get off the beaten path, explore Kings Canyon, hidden deep within the Watarrka National Park. This area is full of spectacular plant and animal wildlife, plus you'll find another mesmerizing light and sound installation called Light Towers.
