Australia the Land - Red Centre

Central Australia. Often referred to as The Centre or the Red Centre. Situated in the southern end of the Northern Territory it is dry, sparsely vegetated and even more sparsely populated. The landscape is starkly beautiful and renowned for its chameleon-like quality as it changes colour and shape many times between dawn and dusk. This area has been evolving for more than 650 million years and all the landforms; trees, gorges and riverbeds and the flora and fauna have special and sacred significance for the indigenous people.

During the day from October to March temperatures are often above 35°C. However, the heat is dry with almost no humidity. Night time temperatures drop all year round; nights from April to September can be 10°C and below. April to September is generally considered the most comfortable time to visit, as the days are usually warm and sunny.
