... WILDERNESS CONTINUUM - NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA: Location The Northern Territory is a federal territory of Australia, occupying much of the centre of the mainland continent, as well as the central northern regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west (129th meridian east), South Australia to the south (26th parallel south), and Queensland to the east (138th meridian east). Despite its large area - over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division - it is sparsely populated.

This means that not all of the area is considered to a wilderness. Larger population centres are located on the single paved road that links Darwin to southern Australia, the Stuart Highway,
