The Northern Territory is home to two World Heritage-listed national parks - Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta - along with over 50 other national parks, nature reserves, conservation areas and marine parks. These parks offer plenty of experiences for travellers: bushwalking, swimming under waterfalls, Aboriginal cultural tours and camping under the stars.
Following is some essential information on the Northern Territory's national parks:
- Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park requires a permit to access, which is provided at the entry station. The cost of an adult, three-day pass is $25
- Camp in designated camp sites and remember to take all rubbish with you when you leave. Camping is not permitted in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
- Pets are not permitted in any national park in the Northern Territory
- Some parks in the northern part of the Territory, such as Kakadu, are home to saltwater crocodiles. Obey the 'no swimming' warnings
- Take care with fire, light fires only in fireplaces provided. Take a gas barbecue in case there is a total fire ban
- Avoid using soaps and detergent in or near waterways
- All cultural items and wildlife are protected. Don't feed native animals
