Things to do in Top End

Top End is located in the northern part of Australia and includes the major towns of Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine and Alice Springs (also known as the Red Center). The area’s landscape is made of magnificent flood pains, grasslands that are filled with eucalyptus trees along with the rocky areas, patches of dense rainforest, and huge mystical gorges that lead to colossal sandstone plateaus. There is also a great deal of culture in the area due to the fact that the Aboriginal Indians inhabited the area long before the British sent their ships to Australia.

Litchfield National Park is a great way to have a better understanding and appreciation of the Aboriginal Indians. Here at this park you are able to learn about their culture, see the monsoon rainforest, historic ruins and majestic streams and waterfalls. Another amazing sight to see in the Top End area is the remarkable Katherine Gorge. The stunning sandstone gorges sit along the river and provide amazing scenic views of plateaus flood pains and grasslands, a truly breath taking experience of natural beauty. Kakadu National Park is another great place to hike and trek to see other amazing aspects of Australia including wildlife, amazing rock galleries and stunning picturesque views of streams, waterfalls and gorges.
