Version 1.0
This is the "top end", as the locals call it. Wild coastlines, lush tropics, harsh, tough desert country and the home of cattle stations (or ranches) which are bigger than some countries. Welcome to the wonder and nature of the Australian tropics, and a region no less interesting than the populated coasts. Discover Catherine Gorge and Kakadu National Park. Explore Darwin and the North coast. You will find the contrasting lushness and harshness of this rich landscape an amazing place to bring out the explorer in you. |

![]() | Version 1.0
If you've ever flown from one of the eastern Australian cities and overland to Singapore or elsewhere in Asia, from your window seat you may have thought that you were on a mission over Mars. The outback is a vast, red place and certainly the least boring of all the places to visit in Australia. With sometimes alien landscapes and stunning vistas, there is so much to find in this massive inland region. Huge craggy mountain ranges, salt lakes and a rich pallette of colors that can change overnight after the wet season, the outback is what makes Australia one of the most diverse and unique places on earth. Visit Uluru, Alice Springs, the wonderful west coast at Broome and Shark Bay. There's so much to explore that you could spend a year and not discover it all. | ![]() |
