NORTHERN TERRITORY (VK8)
Picture
Northern Territory (abbreviated as NT) is a federal territory in the centre and central northern region of Australia.  It shares borders with Western Australia to the west, South Australia to the south, and Queensland to the east.

To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafua Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria.  Despite its large area—over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division—it is sparsely populated.  With a population of 233,300 it is the least populous of Australia's eight major states and territories.

The capital city is Darwin.  The population is not concentrated in coastal regions but rather along the Stuart Highway.  The other major settlements are (in order of size) are Alice Springs, Katherine, Nhulunbuy, and Tennant Creek.

Residents of the Northern Territory are often known simply as 'Territorians', or more informally as 'Top Enders' and 'Centralians'.
