What is the motto for the Northern Territory?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Northern Territory does not have an official motto.

The northern region is unofficially known as the Top End, while the southern desert regions are known as the Red Centre.

Some websites will report that the motto is "The Never-never", but this is not the case; nor is this nickname restricted to the Northern Territory.

What is the population a territory needs to become a state?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no specific limit required for either the Northern territory or the Australian Capital Territory to become a state. For either territory to become a state would be a fairly straightforward matter. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory as a state whether or not the NT agreed to it.

What is the best time to travel to Darwin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Winter and early Spring are the best seasons for travelling to Darwin. The weather is warm and pleasant without the humidity. Avoid Darwin between November and March as this is the monsoon season.

The advantages of the monsoon season are that the weather remains consistently warm, the storms are spectacular, and travel resources such as accommodation are cheaper.

Tours are running all year and the weather can be glorious, while there is a great variety of food.

What is the telephone area code for the Northern Territory of Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The entire Northern Territory is in area code 08, which is +61 8. The local number is a further 8 digits.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Asked by Wiki User

No. Surprisingly, even though the Top End of Australia is closest to the equator, the humidity of the Northern Territory (which is a territory, not a state) keeps the actual mean temperatures down.

The hottest state is Western Australia. The world heat record goes to Marble Bar in Western Australia, which recorded maximum temperatures equalling or exceeding 37.8°C on 161 consecutive days, between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924.

Is Alice Springs an arid region?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alice Springs is definitely not rainforest. It's actually in central Australia, a desert region also known as the "Red Centre", so named for the red soil of this arid area.

The Australian rainforests are found in pockets right along the eastern coast, from far north Queensland right down to the island state of Tasmania.

Asked by Wiki User

The region Micronesia is composed of many countries and territories. The Northern Mariana Islands and Guam are both territories of the USA, whereas no other country or territory there is. The Federated States of Micronesia, an independent country composing of 4 small 'states', Chuuk, Kosrae, Yap, and Caroline, is in Free Association with the USA. This basically means that it has earned its independence, but greatly relies on the USA to keep the country in good shape. 2 other countries are in Free Association with the USA. These are Marshall Islands and Palau.

Why isn't the Australian Capital Territory a State?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because originally the two most influential states NSW and Victoria could not agree on what state would house the Capital, so the only way to settle it was to create a non state to house the capital in the middle of no where. (political thinking) Makes one wonder why the whole world is still at war.

Asked by Wiki User

The Northern Territory was founded under the name of "Northern Territory" in 1911, which is when it was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control.

From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia, at neither time being a separate territory.

On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was removed from South Australia's rule and transferred to Commonwealth control.
