OUTBACK and culture BEST OF THE RED CENTRE The Red Centre sits at the very heart of Australia, perfectly placed considering it is home to one of Australia’s most sacred places, and a major site of Aboriginal cultural awareness. The fi ery red landscapes surrounding the monoliths of Uluru and Kata Tjuta are visually stunning, inspiring all to gaze in awe as the rising or setting sun create a changing palette of colours. The area stretches from the famous outback town of Alice Springs, via the sheer sandstone walls of Kings Canyon, to the iconic ‘Rock’ itself. The Red Centre is a ‘must do’ for every fi rst-timer to Australia, and can be explored independently by car, within a guided tour or on a camping safari. Austravel Secrets... One of the most memorable ways to see the outback is to take a helicopter fl ight. Climb over the rock in style, before taking in views of Mount Conner and Lake Amadeus on the horizon. As you soar over the rugged landscape you will be amazed at its beauty – a must do for any visitor to the Red Centre.

    Territory Art Trails Territory Art Trails The Northern Territory is defined by its vibrant arts, cultural heritage and creative industries born out of its unique history and diversity – being home to some of the oldest continuing living cultures on earth. Cultural and artistic expression is very much a part of the NT’s identity and the arts sector is much more than meets the eye. From cultural festivals by the sea to desert choirs and bustling Aboriginal art fairs, the NT celebrates Aboriginal culture and art as fundamental to our identity and welcomes a diversity of cultures from around the globe that also play an intrinsic part in the Territory’s character, economy and appeal. The energy and vision of artists and residents from across the diverse regional and remote communities that make up the Territory are what makes it such a distinctive and vibrant place to visit and live.
