Our tip - @StokesHillWharf, @DarwinTrailerBoatClub and Cullen Bay are also firm favourites with the locals for prime viewing 👌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @true_north_touring! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd Tell the boss you're putting in leave... the Red Centre awaits! 😍 Summer vibes are in full swing and the many waterholes around #AliceSprings are ripe for a cool dip! About 15 songs into that classic road trip playlist, you'll arrive at Ellery Creek Big Hole, only an hour west of town. Recent rainfall has replenished this outback oasis, making it the perfect time to visit! Cheers for tagging @backyardbanditsaustralia. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT Hello #Uluru 👋 After seeing this incredible shot by pilot @elwingstar, we think she might have one of the best jobs in the world 😍 Just when you thought your #bucketlist couldn't get any longer, you'd better add soaring over @exploreuluru with @ayersrockscenicflights! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Eva. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT @saltandcharcoalau described the #DevilsMarbles (#KarluKarlu) as one of the best places in @Australia for star-gazing 🌠 With no artificial light nearby to interfere, we guarantee you too will be amazed by the region's star-studded nightly show! If you've always wanted to sleep under the ✨, it's possible to camp within the conservation reserve - making it even easier to witness sunrise and sunset at this iconic location. Campers should come well equipped with only limited facilities onsite. Alternatively, you'll find Devils Marbles Hotel just nine kilometres down the road, with a beer garden, small restaurant and various rooms available. Photo: @tropicalpassports #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT Visiting @TourismTopEnd over the tropical summer? Look no further than @DarwinAirboatTours. Their custom built V8 airboats will collect you from Stokes Hill Wharf, just minutes from the #Darwin CBD. Next stop 👉 an epic adventure! The one hour tour will take you across Darwin Harbour and towards the city's mangroves, where you'll cruise along the mudflats. Your adrenaline will be pumping after an airboat fast lap, before slowing down to enjoy the local landscape, home to birdlife, crocodiles and crustaceans. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @iamsavi! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd New Year's resolution: spend more time in outback waterholes...🏖 A cool dip at Ormiston Gorge, only a 90 minute drive from #AliceSprings, is a must over the summer months. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @_aswewander. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT Without further ado, here's our Most Popular Post of 2020! Thanks for coming with us on this journey. We hope you'll feel inspired to visit the NT in 2021. We'll give you a second while you pick your jaw off the floor! 😍 The colours of #BitterSprings are almost edible, with the decadent turquoise blues of the springs set against the alluring green foliage of surrounding tropical woodlands. Feel like a float? Be sure to bring some goggles and a swimming noodle...the soft current will gently take you a hundred metres or so downstream! Just an hour south of #Katherine and moments from the small township of #Mataranka, this slice of paradise is only a five minute walk from the car park. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @looktheworldintheeye. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine It's not hard to see why this was your second favourite photo in 2020!

Without further ado, here's your 4th favourite photo! There’s nothing better than relaxing in a spa bath, and they don’t come much better than the free natural hot springs in #Katherine 💦 Crystal clear and luke warm, surrounded by lush pandanus and monsoon forest, the pools are a firm favourite with locals and travellers alike. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @wearelocals_darwin. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine We're halfway there... here's your 5th favourite photo in 2020! There's waterfalls, and then there's WATERFALLS...🤩 #Kakadu's Maguk Gorge is definitely a leader in the latter category! Walk the 1 kilometre trail to the gorge through some of the region's most eye-catching scenery, and when you're finally over taking photos - hop in! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @kyle_hunter and @haylsa. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu To mark 2020, we're bringing you our Top 10 posts for the year. Here's your 8th favourite photo! Welcome to glamping, @KingsCanyon Resort style, where you'll wake to the Red Centre at its finest 🙌 Spacious and contemporary, these new tents opened last year and feature canvas sides and large windows to welcome in the views, as well as king beds with premium linens, modern lounge and dining area, split system air-conditioning (yas!) and a private ensuite.

Here's your 9th favourite photo! Can we take a moment to appreciate our backyard? The West MacDonnell Ranges are famous for their postcard-like scenery 😍 Shaded by towering cliffs and ghost gums, Simpsons Gap is the first of many adventure stops just west of #AliceSprings. There are several short walks nearby that show off the area’s native plants and wildlife. Our tip: Head here just before sunset; not only do the red gorge walls light up as the sun hits them, but you might also spot one of the local black-footed rock wallabies that call the area home. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @thehatchling and @jarradseng. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT To mark 2020, we're bringing you our Top 10 posts for the year. Let's not waste any time, here's your 10th favourite photo! Just what the doctor ordered... a healthy dose of vitamin-NT 👌 Welcome to Moline Rockhole, one of #Kakadu National Park's best kept secrets. This little piece of swimming paradise is best visited during the dry season (May-September) and is a choice spot if you don't like sharing. Luck out and you may find yourself wading into the vibrant green pool and swimming under the falls with nothing but bird calls for company. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @katrina_ashleighh. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu Come sunrise and sunset, the #DevilsMarbles are the perfect spot to seek solitude, when the sun drenches the outback landscape in a blanket of orange, yellow and red. Karlu Karlu, as the boulders are called by the Aboriginal traditional owners, were formed naturally, slowly eroding over millions of years into their strange and sometimes gravity-defying shapes. Wander the reserve’s walkways, where you’ll find granite boulders up to 6 metres tall scattered throughout the valley. These geological wonders are located just an hour south of #TennantCreek. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @zachlucass. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #HolidayHereThisYear Discover waterfalls like this just 90 minutes from #Darwin 🙌 Lush #LitchfieldNationalPark is the ultimate location for a weekend (or weekday!) getaway with nature activities galore. Fed by twin falls and fringed by shady trees, Florence Falls ranks as one of the park's top spots, particularly as it's swimmable almost year round. Floating in this lush waterhole, you'll feel yourself instantly relax 💚 Our tip: Be sure to check out the viewing platform... it's a great spot for 📸! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @celine.hk. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #HolidayHereThisYear An evening of dining under a starry night sky with views of #Uluru and #KataTjuta (#TheOlgas)…need we say more? The Sounds of Silence dinner experience begins with canapes and sparkling wine served on a viewing platform overlooking the national park. As the sun sets and darkness falls to the sound of a didgeridoo, join your table of fellow travellers for a three-course bush tucker inspired buffet and a star talk with the resident sky decoder ✨ Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @jonny.melon. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #ExploreUluru #HolidayHereThisYear We're feeling the tropical vibes at #Mataranka Thermal Pool 🌴 Located one hour south of #Katherine, the unofficial gateway to the tropics, these stunning springs bubble up at 34 degrees to fill a semi-man made pool of perfectly turquoise water under a shady canopy of stretching palms. It's one of three crystal clear thermal pools in the region... make sure you also check out Bitter Springs and Katherine Hot Springs! 💦 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @bellahickling. #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine Show more Subscribe Sign up to receive the latest news, deals and travel information about the Northern Territory.
