\nAustralia’s spiritual, cultural, and even geographical heart, Uluru is awesome. And I don’t mean \u201cawesome\u201d as in \u201camazing\u201d, \u201cexciting\u201d, or \u201creally cool\u201d (although it is all of those things) \u2013 I mean it literally inspires awe. Check out a sunrise tour<\/a> for an incredible natural light show \u2013 I promise it’s worth the early wake-up call.<\/p>\n

\nAustralia’s Indigenous cultures are the oldest in the world, which is pretty damn amazing. The NT’s museums, galleries, cultural tours, and festivals will immerse you in the stories, art, and traditions of the Arrernte, Yolngu, and Tiwi people, and remind you just how special this country is.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/wotif\/ads\/2016\/wotif-smt\/600-wide\/v3.jpg\")

\nBright red rocks, lush green trees, thundering waterfalls, ancient rock art\u2026 Kakadu is no ordinary national park. Do your research if you want to explore on your own (phone reception is poor, so you really don’t want to get lost) or leave the planning to the experts with an easy day tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nWhile you’re in the Kakadu neighbourhood (if a 19,804 km\u00b2 national park counts as a neighbourhood), make sure you check out Katherine Gorge! Join a tour<\/a> for a cruise through the gorge, spotting freshwater crocs as you go, then cool off with a dip at Edith Falls (far away from the aforementioned crocs).<\/p>\n
\nWorn out from all those day trips and national parks? No prob! Head to Mindil Beach for awesome markets, exciting fire shows, delicious food, and one of the world’s most incredible sunsets. PRO TIP: It’s BYO, so pack a cooler bag (or an esky) if you want a beer on the beach.<\/p>\n
