Meet you at Larrimah Pink Panther Hotel for Friday knock-off drinks? The historic Larrimah Hotel, located an hour south of #Mataranka or two hours south of #Katherine, is known for its down to earth outback hospitality, pink panthers, giant stubby and an eclectic collection of bits and pieces from all over. This is just one of the many unique stops along the Explorer's Way, an epic Aussie road-trip stretching from Darwin to Alice Springs and into South Australia.  ​​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @ducrouxlucie! ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

If you're travelling through the #WestMacDonnellRanges, don't forget to make a stop at Standley Chasm, where the rock looks like it's been split by a giant pick-axe! ⛏ A relatively short and easy drive from #AliceSprings, the chasm cuts through the tough quartzite to form a natural alleyway. It was created by surging flood waters over thousands of years and is an important cultural site for Western Arrernte women. If you're keen to learn more, you can join a half day tour with @angkerlestandleychasm that includes authentic cross-cultural presentations, bush tucker and art workshops. Our tip: visit at noon when the sun is right over head - this is when the chasm really lights up! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @manirak. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Scenic flights over #KataTjuta are pretty hard to beat - just ask @caitensphoto, who captured the spectacular scale of these incredible rock formations from the air. 'Kata Tjuta' means 'many heads' in Pitjantjatjara and is a sacred place to the local Anangu people, who have lived in the area for thousands of years. If you're planning a trip to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, be sure to stop by the Cultural Centre to learn more about the Anangu connection with this special part of #Australia. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Andrew! ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

The green season is in full swing at Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge 💦  Southern Rockhole is a beautiful seasonal swimming hole accessible via an 8 kilometre (return) walking trail or by ferry with @nitmiluktours. Picture 50 shades of green, the inviting sparkle of crystal-clear water and the peaceful hum of a running waterfall 💚  ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @travis_enright. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #NitmilukNT #VisitKatherine

From sunrise to sunset, #KakaduNationalPark has you covered with epic ways to start and finish each day. A Yellow Water cruise with @KakaduTourism allows you to discover the large number of wildlife that call the area home. Sit back and listen to a knowledgeable guide while keeping an eye out for crocodiles, birds such as the delicately sized Jacana hopping across the lily pads, as well as buffalo and wild horses. The daily cruise operates year round and is located next to Cooinda Lodge within the national park. ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @justpicturenat. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #DoKakadu #SeeKakadu ​

Wet, wild and WONDERFUL! Wangi Falls in all its tropical summer glory 👏 While Wangi is currently closed for swimming, it's prime viewing time to see many of #LitchfieldNationalPark's spectacular waterfalls, which become thunderous as a result of heavy rain. The park is a firm favourite with locals for a camping weekend or an adventurous day out bush-walking and swimming, partly because it's so accessible. Only a 1.5 hour drive from #Darwin, you'll get major bang for your driving buck with a number of attractions, including Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole and the intriguing Termite Mounds. ​ Photo 1: @anniev69 Photo 2: @etredana Photo 3&4: @toridvre #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

We're coming to you from the heart of @Australia, where #Uluru has put on a romantic show just in time for #ValentinesDay! 🧡 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @fournamesdave. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #SeeUluru

A beach in Central Australia? Almost! 🏖 Surrounded by sandy banks, the permanent waterhole at #OrmistonGorge will have you feeling like you’re on the coast. It’s only a short walk from the car park to the swimming hole so you start cooling down immediately, but if you wish to really earn your swim or just check out the area, the Ormiston Pound walk takes you on an Insta-worthy 8.5 kilometre loop track. The West MacDonnell National Park (Tjoritja) stretches for 161 kilometres west of #AliceSprings and offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, swimming and camping adventures.

The outback meets the tropics in #Katherine, a big country town three hours drive south of #Darwin on the mighty Katherine River. The jewel of this area is Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge, an ancient 13 gorge system that winds it way through the sandstone country. The walks around the gorge are one of the best ways to explore the region, ranging from easy 1-5 kilometre trails to serious full day and overnight hikes. They take you to stunning lookouts, secluded swimming holes, through palm filled valleys and over rocky escarpments. As @celine.hk discovered, the 8.4 kilometre return Windolf walk is well worth your while, offering sweeping views of the first gorge from Pat's Lookout, along with seasonal swimming at Southern Rockhole down below.
