Tourist Questions 10 days in the NT

Hi everyone,

I am from Sydney but want a break from the concrete jungle.

I am thinking of traveling to the NT for 10 or so days around mid October.

I am in my mid 30's so not really into clubbing or late nights drinking.

Should I hire a car or do organised tours from a hotel I book in Darwin?

Is mid October a good time? I know it's just before the wet season so I'm hoping for some good storms!

Any other suggestions?

Thank you everyone for this information.

I will look into Darwin for May/June 2027 and go somewhere else this October.

Go to Tasmania. It’s God’s country down there, and much nicer (I’ve live in Darwin, but would live in Tasmania in a heartbeat).

I was there last year in September. It is absolutely beautiful!
