North Territory - Red Center & Top End

Australia's Red Centre is the heart of Outback Australia where you find Uluru, Australia's most famous rock monolith, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon and the town of Alice Springs. The Red Centre takes its name from the uniquely reddish soil found in the area and in the varying orange-red hues of Uluru. The second northernmost point on the continent covering a rather vaguely-defined area of perhaps 400,000 square kilometers behind the northern coast. It surrounds Darwin and stretches east to the Arnhem Land, south to Kakadu and north to the Tiwi Islands. The landscape and Aboriginal history are awe-inspiring.
