The blockbuster Netflix series Territory has thrust the epic landscapes of the Northern Territory’s Top End into the global spotlight. Now, it’s time for viewers to lace up their boots, don their Akubras, and experience Kakadu in all its raw, authentic beauty.
Kakadu National Park, a star of the series, captivates viewers with its breath-taking scenery and unique wildlife, reminiscent of its first taste of fame in Crocodile Dundee, which drew the world’s attention to this awe-inspiring region back in 1986. In just its second week, Territory soared to become the second-most-watched TV series globally, with an impressive 12.7 million views over its first fortnight.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Kakadu, Territory leverages the park’s rugged, dramatic landscapes to heighten the intensity of its neo-western narrative. Described as “Dallas with dingoes,” the series offers a unique portrayal of the outback, with scenes filmed at iconic Kakadu sites, including Cannon Hill. This sandstone rock formation, a sacred site for Kakadu’s Traditional Owners, showcases rock art dating back thousands of years, providing cultural depth and authenticity to the show.
With summer in full swing, it’s an ideal time to see Kakadu at its wildest. Visitors can witness thundering waterfalls, lush greenery, and a vibrant array of wildlife. Adding to the allure, Kakadu Tourism is offering exclusive deals to make a summer visit even more enticing.
