Getting to the Northern Territory
Darwin is increasingly popular as a traveller’s gateway between Australia and Asia. Our visitors are now choosing to fly to Singapore and catch the short flight down to Darwin.
If you fly from the Americas and enter another Australian city, just jump on a domestic airline to Darwin, Alice Springs or Yulara, the location of Uluru/Ayers Rock. Either way, the Northern Territory is an easy destination to get to and a great place to visit.
