Awaken your senses in the Northern Territory

Can we just hit pause on this glorious show of colour?! 😍 Not visited by winter and with a relaxed, small-town feel, our stunning capital #Darwin is perched on a harbour fives times the size of Sydney’s. Famous for its multicultural food, outdoor markets, waterside attractions and warm holiday vibe year-round, it's hard not to fall in love with Darwin's easygoing lifestyle. If you're planning a visit, @MindilBeachResort is the ultimate escape with 30 acres of tropical gardens fringed by the crystal blue Arafura Sea. It's also well worth hiring a car or joining a tour to Litchfield National Park or Kakadu National Park - both are within 3 hours' drive of the city. Talk about nature right on your doorstep! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, ​@ryanlampano. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

What better way to start your outback experience than with an early morning balloon flight 🎈 You'll get to see the desert come to life as the sun rises over the MacDonnell Ranges. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife down below, including kangaroos! Once you land, tasty treats and sparkling wine await - the perfect end to this unreal adventure if you ask us! 🥂 @Outback_ballooning run daily flights year round just outside of #AliceSprings.

G’day from @NTaustralia… yes, that’s right – we’ve got a new name! 🤠 While we might have changed our handle, we’re still the home of outback @australia…an adventure seeker’s mecca with spellbinding national parks, Aboriginal culture, crystal clear waterfalls, ancient monoliths and tropical town charms. It doesn't matter whether you're young or old, keen for adventure or looking to relax, on a budget or ready to splurge, a holiday in the Northern Territory is an experience like no other. #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia

Tell your boss you won't be coming in tomorrow... these heavenly hot springs are waiting for you! 😎 #Mataranka Thermal Pool can be found an hours' drive 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, @scottypass! ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine

Just 90 minutes' from #Darwin you'll find Buley Rockhole in #Litchfield National Park. Buley is insanely beautiful and has a collection of picture perfect rock holes for you to pick from 🌱💦 Like many places in the Top End, you'll easily lose track of time here when the serenity starts to sinks in. If you're still not convinced it's a must do, we'd better tell you that Florence Falls and Wangi Falls are only minutes away as well. It really is nature’s ultimate water park!
