Northern Territory
The Northern Territory is one of the world's oldest meeting places. People have been doing business there for over 40,000 years Few places on earth have the ancient majesty and diversity of 'The Territory'. From the green tropical north, to the awesome red deserts, it never fails to imbue a sense of awe in those who visit. The tropical city of Darwin is a good base from which to explore some of the great sites of the region, such as Kakadu National Park, and Arnhem Land - the home of indigenous culture. Visit Central Australia and see Uluru (Ayers Rock) - the world's largest monolith. Both regions offer a wide choice of meeting and accommodation options, such as bush retreats, and high quality resorts and hotels.
