What to do and see in Northern Territory, Australia: The Best Other Outdoor Activities
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.

Reviewed By jb079 - Leidschendam, The Netherlands
We went in around 11.00 hrs with a camper van, no 4WD. According to the roadmap this should not be a problem. Well it isn't as long as you take care. In some places it is like a 4WD track. Upon arriving we were suprised to be the only ones. The girge was all ours. We took a long walk and loved every minute of it. It is not Katherine gorge but to be honest we loved this gorge more.
7. Simpsons Gap

Reviewed By Travelbug291 - Bribie Island, Australia
Beautiful area, typical of an Australian landscape. There was a small waterhole present, but one can only imagine how amazing it would look when they have a flash flood. There is path access for those with mobility issues, but much more fun if you can walk across the sand. The colours of the valley walls resonate in the sun. Ochres, red, rich chocolate. Small rock wallabies manouvered around the rocks with consummate ease. A tranquil place to spend a few hours

Not far off Namatjira Drive, this is definitely worth a stop. It is a great place for a picnic, a swim or just to take in the primary colours of the scenery.

Reviewed By JanineP40 - Red Deer, Canada
After seeing several gorges and waterholes, the Ochre Pits were a nice change! A quick drive off the highway and a short walk in and you can be snapping some beautiful photos. Path is partially set, but you must walk on rocks/sand to get to the Pit. Toilets at this stop.

corrugated, sandy, interspersed by long hard pack straights. beware, camels are seen in the area! a great short cut IF you have a genuine 4WD, not a town SUV. worth the drive, plenty of places to pull over for a cuppa or camp.
