Terytorium Północne

Natural Wonders

The Northern Territory features diverse geological formations, from the Red Centre's sandstone monoliths like Uluru and the 36 domes of Kata Tjuta to the rugged escarpments of Kakadu National Park. This collection includes the 200-metre drop of Jim Jim Falls and Gunlom's natural infinity pools, alongside remote Simpson Desert dunes and the ochre-layered Rainbow Cliffs. These sites showcase ancient landscapes shaped by millions of years of erosion, ephemeral inland lakes, and spring-fed swimming holes.
