Australia's Northern Territory is like another world, a desolate red earth world
Location: Rainbow Valley, NT
After the final exam, I immediately ventured alone into the Northern Territory to explore. I drove to the desolate red earth center of Australia and slept in the car for two days. When the alarm woke me up at midnight with the Milky Way overhead, I felt that everything was worth it the moment I looked up.
Photos 1, 2, and 3 were taken during astronomical twilight (about an hour after sunset). This is a period that can only be seen in the wild, with stars and the last glow of the sun. Photo three even captured a meteor.
This place is really desolate, not like tourist spots such as Uluru, but located in the center of the Northern Territory. However, this location has internet access and you can camp here at night.

A beautiful location for some much needed cooling off in a croc-free pool. We walked to the top which took only around 30 mins via a small track across the river. Rock jumping and swimming amongst the pools was one of the highlights of our trip to Kakadu. #wintergetaway

There is a magical and dreamy rock in central Australia called "Uluru (Ayers Rock)". Now when you set foot on this magical land, you can enjoy the "Uluru Wilderness Starlight".
This art lighting installation consists of more than 50,000 illuminated tubes covered with frosted glass spheres, covering an area of over 49

There is a place called the heart of Australia, the center of the world, or the navel of the earth. It is Uluru in central Australia. Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park consists mainly of Uluru Boulders and Kata Tjuta.
Uluru boulder, also known as Ayers Rock, is the world's largest single rock, about 3 kilometers long, 2 kilometers wide, 350 meters high, and the circumference is close to 10 kilometers. It takes more than four hours to walk around Uluru.
steeply close to the vertical rock wall, huge size, so that everything around it is very small. Ascend to the summit of Uluru, you can overlook the Kata Tjuta in the distance and the red land of Australia. It took half a day to walk around Uluru and climb the boulder. It was different.
However, in order to respect the customs of the indigenous people and for safety, the Australian government decided to ban the climbing of Uluru in October 2019, so it will not open the climb in the future. Remember to come early.
Tips:
1, Ayers Rock Resort near Uluru, with a total of 5 hotels, must be booked a few months in advance during the peak season, very hot.
2, Uluru Wilderness Starlight Exhibition will continue until 2020, which is a must to experience.
3, Sydney, Australia, Melbourne, Darwin, Brisbane have direct flights to Uluru, the sooner the booking is more affordable.

I have been to Uluru to be a senior class graduate
Recently, the news about Uluru, the famous national treasure attraction in Australia, will be "permanently closed" and reported to the world through the Australian media. Suddenly, but suddenly there is a little bit of luck.
captured happiness.
Kata Tjuta, also known as Kata Tjuta - Kata Tjuta means "long" in the language of the aborigines and has a very sacred meaning. 36 dome rock bodies extend from the surface of the desert, and the tallest piece is said to be 546 meters high. Like Uluru, Kata Tjuta is the most spectacular at sunrise or sunset.
You can choose the challenging Wind Valley Walk to experience the ancient and magnificent Kata Tjuta; you can also choose the more relaxed Wapa Canyon Walk and take a leisurely stroll Among the many megaliths, enter the lush desert oasis and watch all kinds of wild animals and plants. The spirit and culture of Australian Aboriginal people are integrated into Uluru Kata Tjuta, and the ancient stories of 50,000 years have been hidden under the sand by the rocks and canvases here and passed down from generation to generation.

Uluru, also known as Uluru, was named by the British BBC as one of the 50 places where life must go. It is 348 meters high and 9.4 kilometers in circumference. It is the largest whole rock in the world and the most perfect in Australia. The most magnificent natural and cultural heritage. At different times of the day and in different climatic conditions, Uluru will present different changes, different red, different emotional expressions. In addition, the Japanese film "Calling Love at the Center of the World" is based on Uluru and photographed locally; after watching the sunrise and sunset of the big rocks, you will never forget it.
After watching the giant rock, we drove to the Wind Valley not far away.

Uluru is located in Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park in the heart of Australia's Northern Territory in the southern Australian territory. There are two main attractions in the park: Uluru, also known as Ayre. Uluru and Kata Tjuta are also known as Kata Tjuta.
Uluru, also known as Uluru, was named by the British BBC as one of the 50 places where life must go. Australia's Uluru Ayers Rock is a world-famous cultural and natural double heritage. It is like the huge heart of Australia's red, standing on the left side of the center of Australia.
Sunrise Sunset is the most beautiful time of the great rock. We get up at 4:30 in the morning and drive for 20 minutes to the sunrise viewing platform. It is cold in the morning and you need to bring your own breakfast.

From Darwin to Jabiru Jabiru, the only town in Kakadu National Park, about three hours' drive. The highways in the Northern Territory are relatively narrow and the road conditions are not particularly good. Fortunately, there are not many people with few people, and it is not difficult to drive. Too big. Its just that the driver must pay more attention to the animals on the road. I saw a lot of animal bodies that were crushed on the road because of crossing the high speed. I also encountered the kangaroos who jumped and walked sideways with our vehicles. The two claws caught an eagle flying up in a black snake. This is the Northern Territory.

This is the national park in the Northern Territory, second only to Kakadu National Park. Most of the park is made up of 13 deep sandstone canyons that were excavated for the Catherine River from Arnhem to the Timor Sea. The magnificent scenery of the canyon is breathtaking and exudes irresistible charm. Here, you can see the sandstone rock disks eroded by the Catherine River about 1.6 billion years ago. They are 40-60 meters high and stretch for 20 kilometers. Of the 13 canyons, 5 are particularly sinister, and most of the cruise ships will circumvent here, showing you the most original and most exquisite natural charm of the Northern Territory. During the cruise, you can not only enjoy the wonders of the canyon, but also the indigenous murals, and wave with a variety of wild animals to harvest a variety of exotic travel experiences.

Nitmeluk National Park is the most famous natural national park near Darwin. The most famous ones are the Catherine Gorge and the large and small waterfalls and lakes in the scenic area. The scenery is quite natural and primitive, and it is rich in flora and fauna. Do not go swimming in the river without permission, because there are crocodiles in some places, only in the designated swimming place, you must pay attention.

Nitmilu National Park consists of several rugged canyons, large and small, the most famous of which is the Catherine Gorge. There are many ways to explore this gorge. Some people go hiking, some people row, some people take a boat, and some people take a helicopter. I just finished watching a movie about walking, and I have made up my mind to explore the beauty of the Catherine Gorge on foot. This movie is called "The Wilderness."

Darwin is the capital of Northern Australia and a relatively famous tourist city. The British biologist Charles Robert Darwin visited this place in 1839, so the city was named after him. Originally a place of residence for indigenous people, it was developed rapidly after the discovery of gold mines in the 1970s. In 1974, it was severely damaged by the hurricane and later rebuilt to become a beautiful and highly developed city with modern streets and buildings. .

It's hard to notice in the city. After sunset, the eyes are really dark. In the wilderness of the Northern Territory, the light of the stars and moons is negligible, and the darkness covers the sky and gradually invades the entire wilderness. This moment is too short, every second is precious. At this time, Kakadu was dark. On the road without lights, only the reflective columns on both sides marked the boundary of the road. It was very cautious to drive, and occasionally the kangaroo crossed the road.
Desperado.
Top Didj and Art Gallery, the top art gallery, is on the way to the Catherine Gorge. When I came here, I parked my car under the tree and got off the bus and looked at it. The art gallery is very different from the art gallery I imagined. It seems to be a few houses with iron sheets on the open space. An indigenous staff member passed by, and I asked him where to buy a ticket. He grinned and said, "Its fine to go straight in, free."

There are many hiking routes in the Katherine Gorge, the most famous of which is the Jatbula Trail, where you can see waterfalls, rainforests and rock paintings, but it takes five days. I chose the Baruwei Loop Walk, which is on the Barueri Loop, overlooking the spectacular scenery of the canyon.
In the afternoon of the scorching sun, I came to the visitor center of the canyon and prepared to leave. There is no cell phone signal in this entire area, no one is looking at the phone, everyone is preparing for other things that are not related to the online world. Waiting for companions, eating sandwiches, applying sunscreen, checking the line, preparing drinking water... I saw the warning sign saying, "Please be sure to tell others where you are going." I have some feelings in my heart. I have not disappeared with the outside world for a long time. Contacted. Although the walk was short and only a few hours, it is undoubtedly a rare hour in life.
Desperado.
On the Ubir Rock Mountain in the Northern Territory, follow the signs of small arrows on the road, climb the rock paintings all the way, and finally climb the huge rock in the wilderness, which is the lookout platform Nardab Lookout. At this time Ubir, the sunset is coming. Those who came from all directions, like me, sat silently on the edge of the cliff, waiting calmly for the sunset.

In 2012, Lonely Planet described Darwin: There are fascinating night scenes, magical markets and restaurants, world-class outdoor deserts. In the same year, Darwin was ranked among the top 10 best cities in the world. The city of Darwin is very small. I drove from the airport to the hotel in the center of the city, only about twenty minutes. Here I tried two hotels, Hilton Hotels and Doubletree by Hilton. The DoubleTree by Hilton is a little bit but not far away, just ten minutes walk from the busiest Mitchell Street in the city centre. Hardware and food are average, but parking is convenient and free.

During the Second World War, Darwin was bombed by the Japanese army as an allied base. It was the only city in Australia that had experienced war. But this is not the only disaster in Darwins short history of more than two hundred years. On Christmas Day 1974, a typhoon named Tracy almost destroyed the entire city. The damage caused by this disaster far exceeded the Japanese army during World War II. What you did. As a tourist, we must know that Darwin is not only a warm and romantic seaside town, but also a city that has suffered twice.

The first time I experienced a local bus route abroad, I met a group of interesting people in Darwin. Friendly is the only one I want to call them so far. .
Every time you go to a country to see interesting pictures, you can't disable the camera to shoot, but it is inevitable that you will be reprimanded by the camera when you encounter embarrassment.
The Darwin locals I met were very friendly, and the children on the bus had been cooperating with the ghosts. For those of us who were tired of taking photos, Xiaomians mother accepted it.
After meeting the locals on the street, many of them will wave their greetings with enthusiasm.
Darwin Bus: There are unlimited free redo tickets for 3 AUD within 3 hours and 7 The Australian dollar can repeat free tickets throughout the day
Darwin taxis are particularly expensive, not recommended!

One of the 50 places that must be visited by the British BBC, Uluru is a world-famous cultural and natural heritage. It is the largest single rock in the world, with a height of 348 meters and a circumference of nearly 10 kilometers, like a huge red heart, set in the left-center of Australia. One day a year, quietly in the red desert, waiting for the vicissitudes of life.
Uluru is also called Ayers Rock. The South Australian Governor Henry Ayers discovered the rock on a hike in central Australia more than a hundred years ago, when he gave Uluru according to his name. Named "Ayers Rock". Later, in the 1980s, this magical stone was returned to the local indigenous people and the Australian government for management, and the name was changed back to the aboriginal title "Uluru."
Uluru not only has the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the world, but from now until the end of 2020, there is also a Natural Starlight Lighting Installation Exhibition worth visiting. Imagine the sparkling lights of the vast red earth desert and the beauty of the vast stars.
tips: There are direct flights from Uluru to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns; Darwin and Adelaide will fly directly to Uluru at the end of March next year. More convenient!

Kakadu is not only a paradise for wildlife, but if you want to learn about the children's shoes that are of interest to Australian aborigines, Uber Rock is a good observation point. Here you can see the imagination of the ancestors. There are several paintings that are particularly modern... About 40 minutes drive from the visitor center to Uber Rock. Kakadu National Park is really big. If you cross it, you can estimate it. Its not enough, its almost impossible to play enough in one day. But sunrise or sunset always has to be experienced. It has been said before that the most touching thing in the Northern Territory is the sunset. Climb up the highest point of the Uber Rock, you can see what I think is the most touching sunset. The light of the sunset is a kind of magic that envelops the entire Uber rock under the golden light. At this moment, nothing is more important than taking pictures of yourself. Sitting quietly on the rocks of the Uber Rock and waiting for the sunset, the hills not far away are tourists, they are all beautiful, many couples look particularly romantic at this moment, slightly dog abuse. However, I am happy to see others happy.

Li Zhifei Te National Park is a sandstone cliff area that has been weathered for many years. It has a stream of underground springs and a waterfall that rushes down the plateau. Take the stairs and go down to the waterfall pool. This waterfall seems to be in the eyes of the Chinese people. It is not spectacular, but tourists can play under the waterfall. Most foreigners dive on the edge of the cliff. If you need to play with water, it is recommended to change the swimsuit in the parking lot first. Go on, otherwise, at the edge of the waterfall, you will be drenched into soup...

There are many ways to visit Uluru. The most popular is to ride a camel and a helicopter. I am actually more inclined to helicopter between the two, but my teammates said that they have never rode a camel... So, they become a collective camel s project. Since I had experienced a camel in the Sahara before, I know what it is like to have a backache and leg cramps. What is important is that the buttocks are very painful. . But the camel here in Uluru seems to be a little better. When you look closely, you think that the camel and the Sahara look different here. This camel can ride two people, so four people ride two, one after the other, and then. . Being chained together. You have to say what kind of experience Uluru is on a camel... In fact, watching Uluru is so small. . Really, I think the helicopter may be better. The local friends are only for reference. But then I calculated the price. It seems that the helicopter is not much cheaper than the camel.
