The best way to see the real Aussie outback is to head to Darwin
Darwin is at the epicentre of the Australian outback and is within close proximity to several famous national parks. Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks are within a couple of hours drive from Darwin and are the perfect place to see the real Australian outback. This part of Australia is so untouched by the modern world that it has essentially stood still in time for tens of thousands of years. These national parks are teeming with spectacular landscapes such as freshwater creeks, waterfalls, and many beautiful hiking tracks. Another great aspect of Kakadu and Litchfield national parks is the Indigenous history that has been prevalent for over 60,000 years. There are over 5,000 Aboriginal Rock art sites located throughout the parks as well as many other significant natural landmarks.
