The Northern Territory has always been a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, so what can't be missed when you come to the Northern Territory? Let's see!
01 dance with alligators
If you only have a one-day stay in Darwin, the last thing you can miss is (Crocosaurus Cove) 's death cage, (Cage of Death)., in crocodile park. This is a project for the brave.
Located in the luxury strip of central Darwin, it costs A $30 million and brings together most of Australia's largest saltwater alligators, making it a must-see attraction for Darwin.
After receiving comprehensive instructions and safety instructions, the experimenter enters a special transparent cage for face-to-face contact with the crocodile. Cage has 4 centimeters thick, 27 meters high, can absolutely ensure the personal safety of the experience! In spite of the facilities, many people pounded their hearts when they actually entered the cage.
Crocodile Bay itself is different from zoos, where you can have close contact with animals. If you can't afford death cages, you can pick up fishing gear to catch hungry crocodiles and watch them swoosh out of the water and take the bait. You can also hug the baby crocodile and take a look at other big guys while feeding.
02 immerse in indigenous culture
(Tiwi Islands), 80 kilometers north of Darwin, is rapidly developing into a destination for tourists to experience real indigenous culture.
If you think the east is too far from Arnhem, then the Tivi Islands are your only choice. It takes only a half-hour voyage or a few hours by ferry.
Here you can enjoy traditional Australian art and dance, learn about local funerals, participate in an Australian regular football game, and fish in the most hidden places. In short, you can experience the most authentic Aboriginal life here. Nature and culture are perfectly integrated in the Tiwi Islands.
If Ps: went alone, he would have to contact (Tiwi Land Council), the Land Council of the Tiwi Islands, for permission in advance.

03 million fishing contest
It can be said that the million fishing competition is a business card of the Northern Territory. Every year, a large number of contestants from all over the country to go, only for a "catch rich."
On October 1st of each year, the new season of the million fishing competition is officially launched and is expected to last until February of the following year. A total of 101 Australian lung fish were placed in the waters of popular fishing sites in the northern tip of the country, one of which was a super prize and the remaining 100 were worth $10,000 each. In the last season, 13 lung fish were picked up by lucky men, taking away $130000 in cash!
The new season also has more than 2 months to start, ready your fishing gear, always pay attention to the registration information (the registration is not yet open), plan your itinerary, maybe the next winner of the super grand prize is you!

04 drifting in the red river bank canyon
East, West Macdonald range stretches hundreds of kilometers on both sides of Alice Springs, not only winding the range, but also having many natural ponds, and the Red River Bank Canyon is one of the many range stretches that can't be missed.
You can even use the tire as a swimming ring, sit down the top, walk through the towering mountains, and feel the history and texture of the cliff.
In addition, there are campgrounds, where you can barbecue with friends, camp, and enjoy the beautiful night sky of the Red River Canyon.
Ps: garbage needs to be taken away by itself.
05 take a look at the wild starlight installation exhibition
The Northern Territory has always attracted many travelers with a series of natural colors and spectacular scenery, and the mysterious Uluru Stone has become a symbol of the Northern Territory.
And as the night fell, the outline of the boulders began to appear, the Milky way rising up, the stillness of the desert, the lights in the wilderness like flowers in full bloom in the night, and the stars on the head, art and nature. Romance and grandeur collide at this moment, intertwined.
The exhibition by renowned British artist Bruce Munro, originally scheduled for 2016 to March 2017, has been extended to December 2020.
06 hand-built an easy-to-pull canister boat
It coincides with Darwin's annual beer canister race, and I wonder if there are any local Darwinian friends going to Mindy Beach to take part in it?
DarwinLions BCR
Every year this event attracts a lot of people, and the way you participate is simple. You just need to take advantage of the various cans, assemble them together to make a boat, and then send it down to the water and other boats for the race!
No matter the contestant or the bystander, everyone will enjoy it. In addition, there are other interesting activities on the beach, from children to adults can participate.
And the event is full of green ideas. The cans are recycled every year, and the proceeds from the event are donated to local institutions for charity.
07 try a Darwin seaplane
Darwin, as a seaside city, had many activities related to water. If you miss a once-in-a-year canoe boat, the seaplane is a must-miss event!
Let's ask, where does water sports guarantee that you play all at once with cruise boats, helicopter bird's-eye views, seaplane sightseeing and water drifting? Only Darwin Water Flying can bring you this only exciting experience!
More details can be found on its official website:

08 take a balancer ride along Ayers rock
This should be one of the lazy people's favorite travel experience! Ayers Rock, the world's largest single boulder, is not easy to walk around. Helicopter tours, however, may seem too boring for friends who want to explore first-hand. Why not choose a balanced-car trip?
Compared to hiking, motorcycles, camels and helicopters, balanced cars are really the most leisurely and safest way to visit. All you have to do is stand on the balance car and take you anywhere you want to see Ayers Rock in close range, free from trekking fatigue and full of fun on the road.
In addition, Urou balance car tour has now launched the GPS Chinese electronic narrator, even if the poor English friends do not have to worry about not understand the tour guide's explanation.
09 set off your own fireworks
Normally, Australia forbids fireworks most of the time, except on Northern Territory Day (Territory Day)!
The first day of July, the anniversary of the Northern Territory's autonomy, is an essential part of fireworks display. Everyone can bring their own fireworks to Mindy Beach to light up the celebration. But the firing time is set between 6: 00 p.m. and 11:00. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to safety, but also pay attention to the time limit.
10 practice an aboriginal life
When it comes to Aboriginal life, the first reaction must be Annemite, and memorable friends will even remember the Tiwi Islands we talked about in the last issue (yes, both of which we recently recommended). But the next thing to say is different from these two places, because you look at the lives of the aborigines more in these two places, and here you have to experience them first-hand.
FB Karrke Aboriginal experience
On the Karrke Native culture trip, you have the opportunity to learn from locals how to cook jungle food, learn about jungle medicine, make necklaces, learn to draw, and know many bird species. And, of course, you can taste something very delicious-the worm (emm..). It is said to be between roast chicken and popcorn.
