It is situated in the north-western corner of the Territory.
The coast is subject to tropical cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons), during the wet season. The temperature in Darwin, though, is constant throughout the year. The territory is a big supplier of beef, veal and game meat and is renowned for its seafood. A wide range of accommodation from caravan parks to five-star hotels is available here. Wilderness attractions include the Wilderness Lodge at Seven Spirit Bay on the Cobourg Peninsula and at Kings Canyon.
Tourism is one of the Northern Territory’s fastest-growing and popular industries. Major developments have been established from the "Centre" of Australia to the "Top End" including the Uluru (Ayers Rock - Mt Olga) Resort, the Darwin and Alice Springs casinos.
