What to do and see in Northern Territory, Australia: The Best Lookouts
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.

Anzac Hill is the most visited landmark in Alice Springs. An ideal spot for a lookout over the town and the surrounding ranges, particularly beautiful at sunrise or sunset. The Anzac Hill memorial was unveiled on 25 April 1934 and is now dedicated to all those who have served in the defence of their country during all wars in which Australia has participated.

I guess most travelers make their way to the top of Anzac Hill (Untyeyetwelye to the Arrerente traditional owners of Alice Springs (Mparntwe) and rightly so as it affords a great view of the town with the MacDonnell Ranges as a backdrop. Probably the best time to visit is at sunset, especially if there are some clouds.

Just 25 minutes from Cooinda, this lookout was a short, steep 10 minute climb to the top. We viewed it at sunset after we did the short Nourlangie Rock art walk. We were the only people in the Nourlangie area. Although the sky came over cloudy, we could still see how the setting sun would create beautiful colours shining off Nourlangie Rock.

We visited the lookout largely to take in the view of Victoria River. What we found was a memorial and potted history of the troops who defended the North of Australia during the second World War. I most enjoyable visit. We followed the road, it got very rough and we didn't get any better views. Go and visit the memorial, soak up the views, take in the history and then go back down the hill.

Uluru can be expensive but experience is what matters. We had the most amazing time by walking and taking helicopter tours to see every angel of this magnificent natures creations. We felt the power of the natives and the love towards the amazing native land. Wish cultural activities were open. But overall a place to embrace HOME.

The views from up there were beautiful. We could see both Uluru and Kata Tjuta from there. We went up for sunrise one morning and the views were amazing.

Got up early and enjoyed watching sunrise. The colours of the sky and Uluru were changing every minute. Definitely worth getting up early in the morning.

This short walk is well worth the hike to the old fire lookout to get a panorama perspective of the surrounding area. Here you get above the tree cover of the surrounding plains to get an overview of the area.
