Northern Territory Rental CarThe third largest state/territory in area is the Northern Territory; it is not counted officially as one of the Australian states, but rather as a federal territory. It is sparsely populated with only 215,000 people. Around 40,000 years ago the Territory was inhabited by Indigenous Australians, although Europeans discovered the coast in the late 1700’s, there wasn’t a successful attempt at settling in the region until 1869 when Port Darwin was established. The capital of the Northern Territory is Darwin which is located in the north of the state and unlike other Australian states the population is not concentrated around the coast but around the Stuart Highway. People from the Northern Territory are colloquially known as ‘Territorians.’ Tourism is the main industry today that the Northern Territory relies on for the development of the economy. The region also has a long history of both farming and mining, however due to the rugged and dry environment; farmers choose to focus on livestock rather than crops.
