Are Victoria and the Northern Territory in Australia the same?
No, Victoria is located in the southeastern corner of mainland Australia, and it is a state. The Northern Territory is on the northern or top end of Australia, directly north of South Australia, and it is a territory, rather than a state. There are significant climatic differences. Victoria lies within the temperate zone. It experiences cold, wet winters and often very hot and dry summers. It is Australia's most bushfire-prone state, due to the adundance of bushland and mountainous terrain. The soils are very fertile and there are many farms. The Northern Territory lies mainly within the tropical region near the coast and has very hot and humid summers. This is the monsoon season, between November and April. South of the "Top End", or far north coast, it is primarily dry and semi-arid, tending to more desert areas the further south one travels.
