Frequently asked questions

  • Use the MyFuel NT website to see real-time fuel prices.

  • Road access in the NT can change quickly, particularly during the tropical summer. Before travelling, check the Road Report NT map for live updates on:

      • road closures
      • flooding
      • weight
      • restrictions
      • maintenance works.

  • The best time depends on where you're travelling. The Top End is most popular during the Dry Season (May to October), when days are sunny and humidity is low. The Red Centre can be explored year-round, with April to September offering mild daytime temperatures that are ideal for hiking and sightseeing. If you visit during the Wet Season (November to April), you'll experience dramatic storms, lush landscapes and flowing waterfalls, although some roads and attractions may be temporarily closed.

  • Not always. Many of the Northern Territory's most iconic destinations, including Darwin, Kakadu, Litchfield, Katherine, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs and Uluru, are connected by sealed highways and can be accessed in a standard two-wheel drive vehicle. A 4WD is recommended if you plan to explore more remote regions or travel on unsealed roads.

  • Pack lightweight clothing, sturdy walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle and a basic first aid kit. Depending on the season, you may also want warm layers for cool desert mornings and evenings. If you're travelling into remote areas, carry extra drinking water, snacks and an emergency kit.
