The Northern
Territory located in the beautiful continent of Australia, which
is also known as the land of kangaroos and koalas. The Northern
Territory has for capital Darwin. In the past, from 1825 to
1863, the Northern Territory made part of the New South Wales
and from 1863 to 1911 it made part of South Australia. In
January 1911 exactly on the first of January, the Northern has
been separated from South Australia and transferred under the
control of the Commonwealth. Between 1926 and 1931 for a short
period the Northern Territory was divided in North and Central
Australia. More than a quarter of the population in the Northern
Territory is Indigenous Australians. There are different
aboriginal communities in the territory; the largest aboriginal
group is Pitjantjatjara, the Arrente and the Luritja. The
Northern is worth a visit while being in Australia with their
spectacular rocks formation as the Ayers Rocks and The Olgas. |
