Northern Territory driving times
Australia’s Northern Territory is an enormous place, but one that is highly appealing to visitors craving a taste of the outback. The Top End offers the likes of Kakadu National Park and Katherine Gorge, while Uluru and Kings Canyon are among the reasons to head to the Red Centre.
However, a trip to the Northern Territory requires careful planning. Distances can be huge, and driving times long. What looks relatively close on a map may be a few hours away.
