History

For most Australians, the Northern Territory – abbreviated "the Territory" or "NT" – is the polar opposite of the country's comfortable suburban shore. To some extent, the term still conjures up images of a faraway frontier region. Even now, a little more than 1% of Australians live in a territory that covers one-fifth of the continent, which helps to explain why the Territory has never been granted full sovereignty. 

Territorians prefer to exaggerate the extremes of temperature, distance, and isolation that shape their temperaments and underline their rugged, outlaw image as outsiders in a nation of "southerners." And underneath the aged clichés is a stunning, memorable tourist destination, delivering us raw landscapes, world-class national parks, and a seductively strong Aboriginal tradition.

Consider vacationing in Tasmania if you want to visit a secluded location with historical charm, gorgeous beaches, unusual fauna, and jaw-dropping mountains (or Tassie, as the locals call it).

The environment, however, defines Tasmania. This is Australia's closest point to the Antarctic Circle. Argentina is the next country to the west, with air monitoring stations claiming that the air in the state's northwest is the cleanest in the world. Tasmania is one of the cleanest locations on the planet, with forty per cent of the island preserved in parks and reserves. Much of the southwest is untamed, with wild rivers, temperate rainforests, button grass plains, and glacially sculpted mountains and tarns. It is a huge World Heritage Area that protects some of the world's greatest wilderness trekking and rafting.

And it's true that this city is synonymous with big tech, since it is home to Apple, Facebook, Google, Uber, and a plethora of other technological platforms that touch our everyday lives. San Francisco, on the other hand, is home to breathtaking architecture, the country's first designated LGBTQ+ neighborhood, and Michelin-starred food, all of which are important components of the city's past.

Because the weather in San Francisco is mild all year, it is a year-round attraction. Having said that, the hottest months in San Francisco are June through October. Because the city has a high season in July and August, we recommend going in May, June, September, or October. The fall season is often calmer than the spring and summer seasons, but temperatures remain in the 70s.

While Australia's southernmost mainland city appears modest on the surface, tourists immediately discover that every element of Melbourne—cultural Australia's capital—is layered with passion, hard work, and history.
