The Northern Territory is an Australian territory in the central and north-central region of Australia. The archaeological history of the Northern Territory began more than 40,000 years ago, when the Australian Aborigines settled in the area. The British were the first Europeans to try to settle in the coastal strip, with Port Darwin being founded in 1869. Today, the economy is based on tourism, particularly in Kakadu National Park in the north of the territory and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in central Australia, famous for its rock formations of Ayers Rock (Uluru) and the Olgas (Kata Tjuta), which are sacred to the local Aboriginal people and have become major tourist attractions. The Kakadu National Park has extensive wetlands and native wildlife. To the north lies the Arafura Sea and to the east is Arnhem Land, with its regional center at Maningrida on the Liverpool River delta. The Northern Territory is home to a series of extensive river systems. The Northern Territory covers a vast environmental range rich in native animals. The vertebrate fauna of the NT includes 400 bird species, 150 mammal species, 300 reptile species, 50 frog species, 60 freshwater fish species and hundreds of marine fish species. The Red Kangaroo in central Australia and the Agile Wallaby in the north are often seen. The Saltwater and Freshwater Crocodiles are the hallmarks of the Top End. Some parts of the area are very important for wildlife, with an unusually rich diversity of species and some groups of endemic or threatened species. Many of these areas are sites of conservation importance.
