It is here you can see rock art that is more than 20,000 years old, a fascinating insight into ancient Aboriginal storytelling. The sights may be wild, the Arnhem Highway road itself is sealed, making it a straightforward drive with no need for a 4WD vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Litchfield Loop: waterfalls and swimming holes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search?destinationName=Northern+Territory&amp;destinationId=le_3bc31a430954d8326605fc690ed22f4d&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;pages=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-litchfield-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Buley Rockhole, Litchfield, one of the best things to do on a Northern Territory road trip - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-42268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-litchfield-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-litchfield-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-litchfield-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-litchfield.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Buley Rockhole, Litchfield.

Showcasing the naturally spectacular landscapes the NT is famous for, here you can dip in some of its best swimming spots, including Buley Rockhole and Wangi Falls. There are also WWII relics to uncover locally, including the Mandorah bunkers and a Liberator bomber crash site. Dundee Beach is another worthy detour; popular for its fishing, this coastal town is where you can cool your feet in the waters of the palm-fringed beach and catch an extraordinary sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Off-the-beaten track explorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arnhem Land drives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vast and untouched, Arnhem Land is thought to be one of Australia\u2019s last true wilderness regions. The seven-day route, starting 50km south of Katherine and ending in Nhulunbuy, unveils a rare, remote beauty, traversing creeks, savannahs and white-sand coastline. Head from the small town of Mataranka with its thermal pool to Beswick with its locally made handicrafts, Mainoru Outstation, and Yirrkala with its gallery of Aboriginal art. Note the roads are largely unsealed and a permit is required to cross Arnhem Land (see <a href=\"https:\/\/northernterritory.com\/itineraries\/discover-arnhem-land-7-day-drive-itinerary\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/northernterritory.com\/itineraries\/discover-arnhem-land-7-day-drive-itinerary\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> for details on how to apply).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Binns Track: a 4WD challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strap in for the off-grid ride of a lifetime on this 10-day, four-wheel-drive route from Alice Springs to Tennant Creek and Katherine. The 2,230km track was named after long-time ranger Bill Binns, who had a lifelong passion for sharing the unique wonders of the region. It\u2019s here you\u2019ll uncover some of the unsung gems of the NT, as you pass through arid desert and sand dunes, quaint Gold Rush towns, working cattle stations and the bulb-like silhouettes of boab trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for a Northern Territory road trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search?destinationName=Northern+Territory&amp;destinationId=le_3bc31a430954d8326605fc690ed22f4d&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;pages=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-uluru-car-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\nKarlu Karlu\/Devils Marbles, one of the best things to do on a Northern Territory road trip - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-42270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-uluru-car-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-uluru-car-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-uluru-car-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/nt-uluru-car.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Karlu Karlu\/Devils Marbles.

Consider the road conditions and if your vehicle is suitable for the terrain (a 4WD may be required for unsealed roads). Bear in mind some routes may be closed during the wet season. It is a requirement to carry your driving licence at all times, and you may need a permit for crossing certain areas of Aboriginal land (these can be applied for online up to 10 days in advance via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlc.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nlc.org.au\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Northern Land Council<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clc.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.clc.org.au\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Land Council<\/a>). Remember to take regular rest breaks, drink plenty of water (4-6 litres a day is recommended), and ensure you have enough food and fuel for exploring more remote areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI
