To mark 2023, we're sharing our top 10 posts of the year. Here's your 2nd favourite photo! In May we wrote - The skies light up at Uluṟu for Wintjiri Wiru, a spectacular new light and sound show, that combines ancient Aṉangu storytelling with 1,100 luminous drones and state-of-the-art laser and light projection technology. As custodians of the land, Aṉangu hold the Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluṟu. To share their story, RAMUS designed and produced an artistic platform using drones, light and sound to create an immersive storytelling experience. There will be two shows nightly at Uluṟu from May until December each year, with one show a night operating in January and February.

Once upon a tropical summer in @tourismtopend ✨ #Darwin's summer season is a magical must-see, epitomised by a build-up of formidable storm clouds, the smell of rain as it hits the ground and the most vibrant colour palette. Grab a seat at one of the numerous harbour-side locations, or explore East Point Reserve with it’s many view points, just minutes from the city. ​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @helloemilie! ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SummerInTheNT ID: Large setting sun over the ocean with dark, moody storm clouds.

It's difficult to describe the feeling that comes over you when you first lay eyes on Kata Tjuṯa (The Olgas). Equal parts ancient and imposing, these ochre-coloured rock domes are spread over more 20 square kilometres and soar up to 546 metres above the surrounding plain, almost 200 metres higher than Uluṟu. Choose from a number of walking trails that range from easy strolls to longer, more difficult tracks. Visit one of the viewing areas at sunrise or sunset and watch the domes glow and change colour with the surrounding desert landscape 🧡 Located about 40 kilometres from Uluṟu, ‘Kata Tjuta’ is a Pitjantjatjara term that means ‘many heads’.

#Darwin's dreamy coastline is a sight to behold from the air 🚁 @airborne.solutions offer a variety of helicopter tours in @tourismtopend, but their 40 minute 'Above and Beyond' flight has to be one of our favourites! You'll take in the beauty of Darwin city and harbour area before continuing onto the stunning coast of the Cox Peninsula. Summer done differently in the Top End - @Australia's new, low-cost airline, @flybonza, has just launched two new exciting flights from the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast to Darwin...starting from $149* per person (one way). The first flight from the Sunshine Coast landed in Darwin today. Link in bio! ✈ Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @_danieltran_! ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

Hidden gem alert ⚠ Tolmer Falls, one of #LitchfieldNationalPark's most magnificent sights, doesn't quite get the same crowds due to the absence of swimming, but it makes up for it with stunning views from the 1.6 kilometre loop track. Just 90 minutes from #Darwin, this park is a true wonder of @tourismtopend, complete with lush swimming spots, walking trails and hidden gems. While it's doable as a day trip, we recommend staying a couple of days - there's so much to explore! Summer in the Top End 7 day itinerary 👉 link in bio.

Come sunset, the #DevilsMarbles | #KarluKarlu is the perfect location to seek solitude, when the sun drenches the outback landscape in a blanket of orange, yellow and red 🧡 Karlu Karlu, as the boulders are known by the Aboriginal traditional owners, were formed naturally; slowly eroding over millions of years into their strange and sometimes gravity-defying shapes. These geological wonders are located just an hour south of #TennantCreek. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @_emjaycook! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT
