Everyone is welcome in the Territory.
The Territory is a place with many cultures which are celebrated right across the Territory. We have over 100 nationalities and around 140 social, cultural, and religious organisations.
We are home to some of the world’s oldest living cultures
The Aboriginal people of Australia are one of the world’s oldest living cultural groups. The diversity of the culture and language is vast, with rich traditions and beliefs, tying to the Australian land.
There are many ways to learn and connect with the diverse Aboriginal cultures found throughout the Top End and Red Centre, whether it’s by taking a locally-guided tour; exploring the galleries and attractions or by venturing on a road trip through the World Heritage-listed national parks of Uluru, Kakadu or further into Arnhem Land.
From Aboriginal art fairs in Darwin to the cultural festivals in Alice Springs and the connections found on Country around Nhulunbuy. The NT acknowledges the traditional owners and celebrates Aboriginal culture.
