'Looks different': Summer in the Northern Territory offers something 'unforgettable'
You might think a visit to the Northern Territory in summer isn't the ideal time of year, but 9Travel's David Whitehill recently discovered otherwise.
On a visit to Australia's Red Centre, he found the time of year was actually perfect to enjoy something "unforgettable" without the crowds of the peak seasons.
"It's the season when nature truly shows off and the territory comes alive in ways you've never seen before," he shares.

Average temperatures in the Northern Territory during the summer range from 24°C to 32°C in the Top End and from 15°C to 35°C in the Red Centre.
It is also considered the wet season, characterised by epic thunderstorms, overflowing creeks and blossoming vegetation.
And as David discovered, the wildlife is at its most active.
"You have a chance to see crocodiles basking on the river banks and birds returning home from ancient migrations, creatures great and small thriving in the lush conditions," he says.

Dave also points out, summer is still a perfect time of year for some adventure.
"Whether you're cooling off in the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park, cruising the mighty rivers, or immersing yourself in the rich culture," he says.
