| ABC’s "The Bachelor" Visits the Northern Territory! |
|
|
With the Red Centre’s remarkable landscapes as a backdrop, ABC’s "The Bachelor" visited the NT for the finale of the 24th season of the show. Love was in the air as the final contestants and the bachelor, Peter, explored Alice Springs and Uluru. Romantic dates included a visit to the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, where Peter and his date cuddled with baby kangaroos, and a scenic flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. From ancient monoliths to Simpsons Gap, the NT’s dramatic landscapes served as the picturesque backdrop for an equally dramatic ending.
