Where was Netflix's Territory filmed? All shooting locations explored 

Territory, the new Australian drama series from Netflix, drops on October 24, 2024. The six-part series chronicles the battle for Marianne Station, known as the world's biggest cattle station, between cattle farmers and gangsters. Starring Anna Torv, Michael Dorman, Robert Taylor, and Sam Corlett, Territory traces action as it unfolds in Australia's outback.

According to 4filming.com, Territory filming was done in numerous locations in Australia, each adding authenticity to the show. The team went to Kakadu National Park, Tipperary Station, Mallala, and Adelaide, where the dramatic landscape played a key role in determining the story of rivalry and survival in the series.

All the shooting locations of Territory

Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the principal filming locations of the series. This lies approximately 250 kilometers southeast of Darwin and covers over 20,000 square kilometers. The park is marked by diversity in ecosystems: wetlands and rivers, sandstone escarpments, and ancient Aboriginal rock art.

These elements contribute to the background of this story about land disputes. Indeed, the landscapes in Kakadu add to the theme of struggle and survival in the Territory. The wildlife—especially saltwater crocodiles and many species of birds—also contribute to the authenticity of life in the Australian outback.

Tipperary Station, Northern Territory

Another important site in the series is Tipperary Station, a working cattle station near the Daly River in the Northern Territory. Over 1,800 square kilometers, Tipperary is one of Australia's largest cattle stations, capturing the outback lifestyle central to the series.

Tipperary Station’s wide-open spaces and rugged terrain were the backdrop for much of the action involving the Lawson family, the series's central characters. The authentic outback atmosphere will give a realistic scenario of problems confronting cattle farmers coming in from rural Australia.

With the airstrip and the school for station workers' children, Tipperary adds another layer of authenticity to the story of family succession and survival.

Mallala, South Australia

A small rural town 50 kilometers north of Adelaide also played a great role in filming the series. Famous for its strong agricultural background and tight-knit community, Mallala was the location that could offer team settings akin to country life, away from the conflicts of the cattle station.

The town's Heritage buildings, the Mallala Institute, and the local church provide appropriate settings for those moments when the characters go about their daily business when not at the extensive cattle station. A bonus to filming at Mallala was an opportunity to depict the rural scenery of South Australia and make note of the agricultural topography that underpins much of the series.

Adelaide, South Australia

The capital city of South Australia, Adelaide, is one of the major base productions for filming and post-production of the series. The city has colonial architecture and a booming arts scene, so it has all the local resources and talent needed to make the production successful.

Even though most of the shooting happened outside towns, the logistical structure of Adelaide had to handle the complex schedule of filming. Adelaide was strategically located to capture more of Australia's rural and isolated scenery because of its proximity to South Australia's natural scenery.

The series shows the contest of land ownership amid Australia's landscapes. It includes sweeping views of the Kakadu National Park and the arid terrain at Tipperary Station, each adding depth and realism to the series. Film locations in the Northern Territory and South Australia depict diverse environments in Australia.
