The Territory: The Place We Call Home
The Territory is full of amazing individuals who call this place home.
While some are born and bred, many have come from across the country or overseas to root themselves in the red soil. Others have come on holiday for a visit, left and then found themselves returning months or even years later to make this unique place home.
Read some of their stories below, and share yours on social media using the hashtag #WhyTerritoryIsHome
