Movie Territory
The Northern Territory has provided the dramatic and inspirational backdrop for numerous films and television programs throughout the years.
Baz Luhrmann’s new epic feature Australia has Darwin buzzing with excitement. The film features the historic Stokes Hill Wharf and majestic harbour and brings Darwin’s forgotten war story to the international stage.
The Red Centre’s vast deserts and spectacular rock formations exemplify the magic and mystery of the outback. The dramatic panorama of the Red Centre, including Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park and Rainbow Valley, set the stage for memorable scenes in Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Alice.
The untouched landscapes of World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory’s Top End, were the location for adventure in Rogue and the classic film Crocodile Dundee.
Aboriginal films are gaining national and international recognition for their quality and innovation. The acclaimed films Ten Canoes and Yolngu Boy are set in the remote landscapes of Arnhem Land and share the fascinating culture of its indigenous people.
Let this feast of films inspire your travel plans and journey into the movie landscapes of the Northern Territory.
