Both Western australia and The Northern Territory are amazing travel destinations. There is some stunning scenery there. Both have vaste distances to travel through and you should find plenty of tours . Western Australia is very popular in Spring when the wild flowers are out. The Northern Territory has the remarkable Kimberly region . I think I would choose the Northern territory but this is a hard choice as both places have different things to see.and I’m sure you would be delighted with what ever you chose

I have travelled every state in OZ. I would have to say they are all beautiful. However, the NT would be the most amazing out of the two. You can drive on the same stretch of road and not see another car for hours. The wildlife is in abundance too.

That’s actually a fairly difficult choice but I think I’d go for the Northern Territory. Some of Australia’s best and most interesting National Parks are up there including the World Heritage listed Kakadu which you definitely shouldn’t miss and you can’t go to the NT without seeing Uluru and the parks around there. I was researching another answer the other day and came across the following site which gives really detailed info on National Parks in the NT:
The site also has similar info about Western Australia so you may find it useful in making your decision.
I think the reason you don’t find much in the way of WA tours is the sheer size of the state and the huge distance between places of interest. The south west of the state is worth visiting but then you drive for something like 3000km to the north before you come to the other parts that are worth seeing and there’s not much at all in between though there is some beautiful coastal scenery in places.
You may be able to find a tour that takes you from the NT across towards the west to Broome and places around there. I haven’t done that trip myself, but saw a documentary about it a few months ago and it looks well worth seeing. Certainly, the northern part of WA has some truly breathtaking places so if you can get across there, you won’t be sorry – perhaps you could fly in.
I hope you have plenty of time – it’s a big place and there’s a lot to see and do. Have a wonderful time.

Just lost what I wrote!
Western Australia is nearly half the size of Australia, so that may account for no tour opperators working throughout WA.
WA is an amazing place to visit and if you’re into wildlife/ nature, you will love both WA and the NT.
Nature things to see in West Aus: the Kimberley Ranges, Wave rock, Wolf Meterorite crater near Derby, swimming with the whale sharks off Exmouth. The Monkey Mia dolphins have become a bit commercialised and regulated because they were so popular. There is a whaling museum out of Albany that is worth seeing, the tall timber country down in the south west corner is worth visiting (Pemberton, Manjimup etc) and if you do, the Gloucester tree is a great challenge to climb… it is 61m tall and you get a certificate to say you climbed it from the visitor’s centre. Margaret River is vineyard country also in the sw corner, along with Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, and a walking track that stretches from Albany to Perth, about 1,000km, if you’re up to it!
There are also wild flowers in spring that are a must see.
The state is so large you can spend the summer seeing the bottom half and the winter seeing the top half. (summer has monsoon rains in the top end and NT.)
I hope this gives you some idea of what is available.
If you go to google Australia and type in western australia and then any of the above place names and items, you should be able to find more than I could put in the references section.
