Land and Culture
The Australian continent’s unique geography, plant, and wildlife are the result of intense isolation. Roughly the same geographic size as the United States, Australia is the Earth’s largest island, and its life has developed in solitude over millions of years.

With wild extremes of terrain, climate, plant life, and living creatures, Australia is as close to prehistoric as any area you could find on Earth.
The Northern Territory
Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes depicts a river gorge in the the northern region of outback Australia. The earth in this harsh land is deep and rich red, including the soil, the sand, and the rock.
Twice the size of California, but with only 200,000 residents, the Northern Territory is a land where nature reigns. Adventurous visitors can explore the World Heritage parks of Kakadu and Uluru (Ayers Rock); trek through the Outback; ride to dinner on a camel; and enjoy the fiery and unforgettable sunsets that light up Darwin Harbour.
From saltwater crocodiles to birds that can't fly; the animals of the Northern Territory are as diverse as they are plentiful. The landscape shifts from desert plains to waterfalls that reach for the sky. Welcoming, friendly and laid back, the Northern Territory of Australia is haven for those that want to connect with nature- in a land of wild extremes!
