The Northern Territory is a federal territory of Australia. The capital city is Darwin; the other two sizable settlements are Alice Springs (in the desert interior, 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) to the south) and Katherine (near the base of the Top End). Residents of the Northern Territory are often known simply as 'Territorians'.
There are many very small settlements scattered across the Territory but the larger population centres are located on the single sealed road that links Darwin to southern Australia, the Stuart Highway, known to locals simply as "the track".
The Northern Territory is also home to two spectacular natural rock formations, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), which are sacred to the local Aborigines and which have become major tourist attractions.
In the northern part of the territory lies Kakadu National Park, which features breathtaking wetlands and native wildlife. To the north of that lies the Arafura Sea, and to the east lies Arnhem Land, whose regional centre is Maningrida on the Liverpool River delta.
Alice Springs has a large number of tourist resorts, a casino, the Araluen Centre for Arts and Entertainment, nightclubs, clubs, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Visitor attractions include a Desert Park wildlife centre, the Old Telegraph Station, hot air balloon rides, Royal Flying Doctor Service, School of the Air, camel tours, a reptile centre, the Olive Pink Botanic Garden, and a cinema. Also supporting the tourist industry are over a dozen hotels, caravan parks and backpacker lodges, as well as tourist centres that run tours to Hermannsburg, The Olgas, Uluru (Ayers Rock), King's Canyon, Wallace Rock Hole, Chambers Pillar and a number of other places.[5]
Alice Springs is host to a large number of festivals, including the Finke Desert Race and the Todd River Race that are held annually.[6]
