3. Escape the heat in Litchfield National Park
It’s no surprise that the Northern Territory is a place that is too hot to handle, especially for those used to a cooler, significantly less sticky climate. This is where Litchfield National Park is a lifesaver. Litchfield is an oasis filled with (crocodile-free!) waterfalls, plunge pools, rivers and creeks.
4. Feast til you’re full at the Mindil Sunset Markets
Every Thursday and Sunday sunset brings about the Mindil Sunset Markets. With tonnes of food stalls from a range of cuisines, unique craft vendors and a picturesque sunset, what else could you want from a market? Oh and its BYO beverage, just when you thought it couldn’t get better.
5. Relax in the Mataranka Thermal Pools
That incredibly long stretch from Darwin to Uluru is not barren emptiness, no. Somewhere between those many miles is the crystal blue, soothing waters of Mataranka Thermal Pools. A lush natural pool oasis settled among paperbark trees in true Aussie outback serenity.
