Northern Territory, Administrative division in central Australia
The Northern Territory encompasses 1,349,129 square kilometers of land between Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland.
British settlers established Port Darwin in 1869 after three failed attempts to create permanent settlements along the northern coast.
Indigenous languages remain active across the territory, including Warlpiri in central regions and Yolngu Matha in northern areas.
The Northern Territory operates with a single-chamber Legislative Assembly that manages territorial affairs from its base in Darwin.
The territory experiences two distinct seasons, with the wet season from October to April and dry season from May to September.
