Pull over at Nourlangie Car Park & Picnic Area in the lush Top End — ancient Kakadu wetlands, thundering Litchfield waterfalls, and some of the most biodiverse landscapes on the planet. The golden rule on NT roads: stop and rest every two hours. These rest areas exist because they save lives. Take a break from the road, watch the eagles soar overhead, and remember that the journey through the Territory IS the destination.
