The Northern Territory was not surveyed in its current form until it was separated from South Australia in 1911. Originally part of New South Wales (1825 to 1863), it was made part of South Australia following John McDouall Stuart's successful South Australian bid to cross the central deserts from Adelaide to the north. The Northern Territory was only separated from South Australia on 1 January 1911, so it was never established as a separate colony in the first place.
