Holiday Different in the Northern Territory

 

The Top End is every adventurous traveller’s notion of outback Australia: big skies, bold landscapes, termite mounds, ancient rock art and the thrill of crocodiles. Everyone should see Kakadu and Uluru at least once in their lives, but Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks are wonderful, too. Hit the road, red dust swirling behind you, and you won’t be disappointed!

A self-drive road trip gives you so much more freedom to explore the Northern Territory destinations at your own pace.With a lot of ground to cover, and many destinations to choose from for your holiday, there’s never been a better time to get out and go in a motorhome, campervan or 4WD camper.

Weather & Seasons in the Northern Territory
 

To get the most out of your time in the Northern Territory, we could recommend visiting during the dry season, which is between May and October. 

It's worth noting that due to the Northern Territory's wet season (monsoonal rains and tropical storms) the Apollo Darwin and Alice Springs branches have a seasonal closure each year between late December and the end of March. The Darwin and Alice Springs branches then re-open at the start of the dry season on the 1st of April each year. 

The Northern Territory has two distinct climates - the tropical Top End (Darwin) and the semi-arid Red Centre (Alice Springs).  The Northern Territory's capital, Darwin, has an average temperature of 32 degrees Celsius year round, but weather is more mild during the dry season. It's important to remember that no matter when you visit the Northern Territory, we would recommend that you stay hydrated, be sun smart and dress for the conditions.
