The Northern Territory (abbreviated as NT) is a federal Australian territory in the centre and central northern regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west (129th meridian east), South Australia to the south (26th parallel south), and Queensland to the east (138th meridian east). To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its large area—over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division—it is sparsely populated. The Northern Territory's population of 243,700 (2014) makes it is the least populous of Australia's eight major states and territories, having fewer than half as many people as Tasmania.
The archaeological history of the Northern Territory begins over 40,000 years ago when Indigenous Australians settled the region. Makassan traders began trading with the indigenous people of the Northern Territory for trepang from at least the 18th century onwards, and very likely for 300 years prior to that. The coast of the territory was first seen by Europeans in the 17th century. The British were the first Europeans to attempt to settle the coastal regions. After three failed attempts to establish a settlement (1824–1828, 1838–1849, and 1864–66), success was achieved in 1869 with the establishment of a settlement at Port Darwin. Today the economy is based on tourism, especially Kakadu National Park in the Top End and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Ayers Rock) in central Australia, and mining.
http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/ExploreAustralia We’ll guide you from Darwin, a city that has been destroyed and rebuilt twice in its short lifetime to the mighty Uluru also known as Ayers Rock, the cultural centre of ancient Australia. Despite its enormous size, the Northern Territory is the most sparsely populated of all Australian states and territories. Only a couple of hundred thousand people live in an area that covers one and a half million square miles. It’s twice the size of France, and six times the size of the UK. Most of the territory’s population live in Darwin, where our journey begins. The most northern city of Australia is an important hub of trade, commerce, defence and culture. It also acts as the country’s launching pad to Asia, and is closer to Bali than to Sydney. The...

Welcome to Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory. Also known as “The Top End,” Darwin perches on the Timor Sea, giving it striking views of the ocean. Due to its distance from other Australian cities, it is somewhat isolated, leading to a real sense of small-town community despite its status as a large city. Get a taste of this community during your Darwin tour by stopping at the Mindil Beach Markets; on Thursdays and Sundays, you can run into almost half the city as residents turn out to shop at the various vendors and devour local multicultural cuisine. Your Darwin sightseeing will likely take you to the Darwin Museum and Art Gallery, which is full of Australian culture and artwork. After that, get outdoors at Crocadylys Park, which is filled with Darwin’s legendary sal...

Over 5 generations of Greek nationals were interviewed each with a story to tell. Laughter, tragedy and triumph make this a must see video for all the family. Presented by Elena Gomatos.

1987 with Sid, Mike, Sharpie, Pete and me. This video is my version. Peter Smith has a longer version I will put up soon.
Disk 2 This is Pete Smiths video of our NT trip in 1987. It was produced in 2012 for the 25th Anniversary of the trip. The back cover reads: In 1987 the serenity of the Northern Territory was disturbed for a little while when a group of intrepid fishermen paid a visit. Sid, Calipers, Mike, Sharpie and Pete were let loose to explore the gulf and visit Mr Wog's daughter Julie. The brief was simple;- Travel as much as you can, fish as much as you can and drink till supplies ran out. It was reported that all aims were met with great enthusiasm. Many tales are still told of the legendary "goings-on" during that visit, but here, on these disks, the TRUTH is revealed. Watch and enjoy. Most of all laugh 'cause that was what our heroes did too.
I stand tall waiting
Backed against the wall
Staring six feet in the distance
I stand sixes in the valley
Then I'm off toward the city lights
You send me no letter
Lack of information
Gives me no shelter
I was cracking empty bottles
By the distant tree line
All the way
Let's go all the way
Dance the night away
Let's go all the way
All the way
Let's go all the way
Dance the night away
Let's go all the way
Blue wide yonder
Down by the water
Fight for glory
I'm in the northern territory
All the way
Let's go all the way
Dance the night away
Let's go all the way
(repeat)
You send me no letter
Lack of information
Gives me no shelter
I was cracking empty bottles
By the distant tree line
All the way
Let's go all the way
Dance the night away
Let's go all the way
(repeat)
I stand tall waiting
Backed against the wall
Staring six feet in the distance
I stand sixes in the valley
Then I'm off toward the city lights
All the way
Let's go all the way
Dance the night away
Let's go all the way
(repeat)
Go wide yonder
Down by the water
Fight for glory
I'm in the northern territory
Down by the water
Is a creature
To fight for your glory
In the northern territory
Down by the water
Fight for glory
I'm in the northern territory
