“The Territory is a truly iconic destination, and it’s one that’s on the bucket list for many Australians. For too long Australians have said: ‘I’ll go one day’. Well that day has come. There are no excuses left,” Quarmby said.
“Everyone here is looking forward to reopening and sharing this spectacular part of our own backyard with the rest of the country.
