    The climate is tropical. Precipitation, which occurs mainly between November and April, ranges from 1524 mm (60 in) annually along the coast to about 254 mm (about 10 in) in the interior. Marsupials, alligators, snakes, water buffalo, and tropical birds are common. The main forms of vegetation are grasses, mangroves, and eucalyptus trees. Darwin is the capital, largest city, and principal port. Aborigines make up more than 20 percent of the territory's population. Population (1991) 175,891.
    Cattle raising is a primary economic activity. The territory is rich in minerals, with gold, silver, copper, uranium oxide, and manganese ore produced in significant quantities. Farming was developed in the interior despite a lack of water and an abundance of insect pests; peanuts are the chief commercial crop. Tourism is a growing industry. One of the most popular attractions is Uluru (Ayers Rock), believed to be the largest monolith in the world. Many tourists also visit Kakadu National Park, near Darwin.
    The territorial government is headed by an administrator appointed by the central government of Australia and aided by a legislative assembly of 19 elected members. The Northern Territory was given increased autonomy in 1978 and 1979.
