With the rental car to the highlights in the Northern Territory

A definite must-see on your trip with a rental car through the Northern Territory is a visit to Uluru or Ayers Rock. This is a huge 863 meter high sandstone monolith, which is located about 450 km from Alice Springs. The huge rock was probably originated 550 million years ago and is considered as holy to the Australian aborigines.

Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory and awaits you with some highlights. Take a rental car to a variety of attractions or park the car and set off on foot. Relax on one of the beaches in the famous waterfront area and then stroll the Mindil Beach Markets. Don't miss out on these highlights:

Another highlight in the Northern Territory are the huge granite spheres of Devils Marbles, which you can find by rental car after 95 km south of Tennant Creek. For the Aborigines the Devils Marbles in Australia are a holy place and are called Karlu Karlu in their language. The stones look different every time you visit, as they are still exposed to erosion. There is also a bush campground nearby, so you can watch the natural spectacle in peace and quiet.
