The Northern Territory is one of two mainland Australian territories, and not a state. At Federation, the Northern Territory did not yet exist. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. This resulted from the successful 1862 expedition of John McDouall Stuart to find an overland route through the desert from Adelaide to the north.

On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control. The Northern Territory does not have the full rights that a state has, but the territory is administered by the Commonwealth delegating powers to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. States can govern their area in their own constitutional right. So, it is called a territory because it is an area of Australia controlled by Australia and is not an actual state.

As of August 2012, the Country Liberal Party holds power in the Northern Territory.

Excellent

If you are referring to the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory then yes, it is.

This is due to the visit paid by 'The Beagle', Charles Darwin's former ship on his voyage around the world, to Port Darwin, on 9 September 1839. The captain of the ship named the newly mapped region after his former passenger.

Initially Darwin was named Palmerston after the Prime Minister of Britain, Lord Palmerston, but once the settlement was established, all shipping was consigned to "Port Darwin", not Palmerston. When South Australia handed control of the Northern Territory to the Commonwealth government in 1911, the city was officially renamed Darwin.

Western Australia has always been part of the continent of Australia. However, the colony of the Swan River in Western Australia was claimed as territory of Australia, rather than remaining as New Holland, in 1829.

In 1829, Captain Charles Fremantle was sent to take formal possession of the remainder of New Holland which had not already been claimed for Britain under the territory of New South Wales. On 2 May 1829, Captain Fremantle raised the Union Jack on the south head of the Swan River, thus claiming the territory for Britain. The Swan River Colony was officially renamed to Western Australia in 1832.

This question does not apply to the whole of the Northern Territory.

The usual four seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring are not clearly marked in the northern part of the Northern Territory, because the "Top End", as it is called, lies in the tropical zone. It has two clear seasons - 'wet'(from about October to March) and 'dry', because it is subject to the weather influences in the Timor and Arafura seas. The indigenous people actually recognise six seasons in the Top End.

The inland part of the Northern territory clearly has four distinct seasons. Being away from the coast, the cold winters are much more marked, and the summers are searingly hot.
