Transport in Nothern Territory is provided by a wide range of infrastructure. Much of the state's transportation is concentrated in its capital city, Darwin, which is home to nearly 140,000 people - approximately 55% of the state's total population[1][2]. Transport in NT is predominantly road, which links up Darwin with sporadically scattered towns across the state. Additionally, due to its proximity from other large cities in Australia, air transport is used frequently for interstate travel.
History
[edit]Roads
[edit]The main highway in NT is the Stuart Highway, connecting Darwin to the rest of the country. This highway begins at Darwin CBD, and runs to Port Augusta, South Australia, passing through the NT town of Alice Springs.
Branching off the Stuart Highway is the Barkly Highway, which is the primary road connection between NT and Queensland. This highway begins around 15km north of Tennant Creek, travelling east to the Queensland towns of Mount Isa City and terminating at Cloncurry.
