8 Visitor Centers in Northern Territory That You Shouldn't Miss
The Northern Territory (abbreviated as NT) is a federal Australian territory in the central and central northern regions of Australia. 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 244,000 (2016) makes it the least populous of Australia's eight major states and territories, having fewer than half as many people as Tasmania.

Popped into the centre for some information and tips about the region. The Centre is quite spacious and nicely decorated with heaps of literature to browse through. We were assisted by Kylie ( apparently She's on "L Plates". She was extremely polite, jovial and helpful, went out of her way to assist but at the same time, very professional. She gave us great tips and ideas about where to go & what to see. This is a definite must to do when you first arrive in Alice Springs.

This is a great place to start when coming to Kakadu. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a wealth of information available about the attractions and road conditions, and you can also buy your Park pass (a must have for all visitors unless you live in the NT). The shop there has a great range of souvenirs and the Cafe is a welcome place after a few hours on the road. It has free wifi and a whole bench dedicated to computer users with fitted powerpoints etc. A highly recommended place to start your Kakadu visit.

Battery Hill, overlooking the township of Tennant Creek is named after the original ten-head stamp battery. The 1930’s site echoes the soul and spirit of the miners. Underground Gold Mine tours are conducted regularly. Take self guided walks and meander past the historic machinery. Pay a small fee and enjoy Freedom, Fortitude and Flies; the social history museum and Minerals Museum with its superlative McLaughlin Collection. You will be surprised, they are worth every cent.
7. Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 341 reviews
Visit Window on the Wetlands on your way to Mary River National Park and Kakadu National Park. There you will get an understanding of the landscapes you are about to see. The top floor of the centre has 270 degree views of the wetlands below, which during the Wet Season can be complete with a lightning show. For half of the year the wetlands are flooded, while in the Dry Season they are baked and dried out. The region is one of great contrast. Interactive displays will tell you about seasonal changes, the ecological processes within the wetlands and the problems of feral animals and weeds. There is detailed information on wildlife and local Aboriginal and European history.

We really enjoyed stopping here. The view is spectacular and the interpretive display is very good. We visited twice here. One on our own and one with the Wetlands Tour. We enjoyed watching the video which is really interesting about the seasons and their significance with all life in the region! As mum is not able to walk up the hill from the carpark, there are a couple of parking spaces near the entrance, ramp to walk up to the display and lift access to the upper level viewing platform!
