orthern erritory

Capital: Darwin.

Population: 173.500.

The locals: the Northern Territory has the largest percentage of Aboriginal inhabitants in Australia, so this is absolutely the place to learn a little about Australia's first people. There is also a far sprinkling of what can only be described as 'rednecks' in the Territory, complete with mullets and flannel shirts. The cities, especially tropical Darwin, are transient places and to be considered a 'Territorian' you have to have survived a few Wet Seasons. There is a significant hippy population too.

Tourists come here because: Uluru (or Ayers Rock).
