CENTRAL AUSTRALIA &
THE TOP END
Northern Territory Road Map
The Northern Territory has some of the most unique, spectacular and amazing travel experiences in the world. And we reckon the best way to experience Central Australia and the Top End, and everything in between, is on an epic road trip.
Explore the world-renowned Uluru and the iconic outback town of Alice Springs in the Red Centre; Australia’s “Golden Heart” of Tennant Creek and the Barkly; and the stunning Katherine Gorge, world-heritage-listed Kakadu, and the capital of the tropical Top End, Darwin. These places are just the start. Take the time to immerse yourself in this timeless land, so you can take unforgettable memories home with you, to keep until you return.
Look out for the Drive the NT Map at all the Caravanning and Camping shows and Visitor Information Centres nation-wide.
