Experience The Residency in the Red Centre — vast desert landscapes of ancient red rock gorges, sacred Aboriginal sites, and skies so clear you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. The NT's wildlife is extraordinary — from 5-metre saltwater crocs to tiny sugar gliders, from wedge-tailed eagles soaring on thermals to jabirus wading through billabongs. This tour or experience gives you access to some of Australia's most remarkable creatures in their natural habitat. Always follow your guide's instructions — this is wild Australia, not a zoo.
