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. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @suitcasestories.be! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT 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. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Celine! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine #NitmilukNT Shell yeah! #Darwin's turtle-y awesome street art makes for great photos👌The @DarwinStreetArtFestival launched in 2017 and has enlivened the city's many laneways with dozens of multi-storey murals on the walls of buildings in the CBD. Bring the artworks to life with a free app, which can be used on your phone as a magic window, converting three of the work’s into 3D animations, including this very cute turtle 🐢 If you're visiting Darwin, you can download it on the app store! Photos/Art: @jiwa_igusti, @hafleg, @odeith, @nicklovinadventure, @ctoart and @dvate. #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia Camp sites don't come much better than this 🏕 The 2 Mile camping area can be found on the banks of the Finke River in the West MacDonnell Ranges, near #AliceSprings. While there's no fancy cooking facilities or toilets, this is free bush camping at its finest...👌 You'll not only be surrounded by rolling mountain ranges, but also sleeping next to what's thought to be one of the oldest river systems in the world. Local tip: you'll need a 4WD to access this spot! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @_aswewander. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT A striking sight on the #TiwiIslands coastline ⚡Located 80 kilometres north of #Darwin, Tiwi comprises of two main islands – Bathurst and Melville. Every year people flock to Bathurst for one of @TourismTopEnd's best known events: the Tiwi Islands AFL Grand Final and Art Sale. Held on March 21 this year, it's a great opportunity to purchase some unique art, explore the remote community of Wurrumiyanga and enjoy the passion, colour and excitement of the grand final. @sealinknt run a ferry service from Darwin to Tiwi, along with a variety of tours showcasing the fascinating local culture. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @visual_soda. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd @slightlylostau are living out our summer dreams, exploring the many waterholes dotted throughout the dreamy West MacDonnell Ranges ☀You’ll find #RedbankGorge, an outback oasis situated near the base of Mount Sonder, just two hours’ drive from #AliceSprings. Surrounded by rugged ochre-coloured walls, you can relax in the shallows or float through the shady narrow chasm. For ultimate relaxation, pool noodles or inflatables are a must, particularly when your epic roadie also includes nearby Ormiston Gorge and Ellery Creek Big Hole. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Glenna and Bobby! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT Found: one of @Australia's clearest natural hot springs! The #Katherine region is famous for its thermal pools but #BitterSprings, in Elsey National Park, is an area that’s guaranteed to make you stop and stare. Bring your goggles to observe the incredible underwater scenes as you drift with the current in the ethereal teal waters of this palm-fringed waterhole. Here’s to a Sunday well spent in paradise 😍 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @jonny.melon! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd Chase golden hour at Nawurlandja lookout in #KakaduNationalPark ✨ Go where the locals go to watch sunrise and sunset at one of the best vantage points in the area. Walk up the steep 300-metre incline for sweeping views over Anbangbang Billabong and towards Arnhem Land. Not to mention, Nawurlandja is the perfect place to watch the moon rise on an evening when it’s full. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @rachstewartnz. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu Forget the Hollywood sign! Welcome to Aileron, 132 kilometres north of #AliceSprings, where you'll find this 17 metre high giant sculpture of an Aboriginal warrior (Anmatjere Man). Aileron is a welcome rest stop along the Stuart Highway offering meals, accommodation and fuel. The sculpture guards over the roadhouse, striking an impressive figure as he overlooks Aileron and the surrounding region. Be sure to stop for a 📸! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @aboutnorth_. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #KataTjuta (#TheOlgas) is simply radiant at sunrise ✨ Grab your walking boots to experience these incredible ochre-coloured domes, located only a half hour drive west of #Uluru. Get the full panorama on the 600 metre walk to the dune viewing area, take the 2.6 kilometre (return) Walpa Gorge walk past rare plants to a spearwood grove or do the Valley of the Winds walk, the full 7.4 kilometre circuit into the heart of Kata Tjuta (which is actually 200 metres higher than Uluru!). Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @caseeyjay. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT Less than a month into 2021 and we're already thinking about our next holiday...how about @EastArnhemLand? It would be easy to assume this region is like the rest of the NT, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. While it is rugged and remote, the coastline here is what separates it from the rest of the Territory. The largest and most popular of the beaches in the #Nhulunbuy (#Gove) area is Little Bondi. It’s shaped a little like it’s more famous Sydney cousin, however with red rocky cliffs on either side, large sand dunes behind it and stunning turquoise waters, it couldn't be more different! If you're flying direct from Darwin, it's possible to hire a car at the airport for all of your adventures. Base yourself at @walkaboutlodgegove, centrally located in Nhulunbuy.
