Top of the morning to you! 🤠 Three hours' drive from Uluru is #KingsCanyon, an incredible haven forged over 400 million years. It's jaw-dropping brilliant orange sandstone walls soar 270 metres above sea level. Walk the rim and marvel at the changing landscapes.

Take your time to experience the peace and serenity 🧡 Over the dry season, the roads become accessible again and the area can be visited by 4WD. The name Jim Jim comes from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek.

Were you fooled by Mount Conner? Many travellers driving from #AliceSprings to #Uluru spot this flat-topped sandstone capped monolith on the horizon and mistake it for the iconic rock - earning it the nickname 'Fool-uru!'

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER… Why wait ‘till December for a holiday? Summer starts early in the NT! ☀ Summer in the Top End is when the weather warms up, the storms roll in and the waterfalls flow across the national parks. While a Red Centre summer is full of blue skies against ochre-coloured sand, giving the perfect backdrop to take a dip in an outback swimming hole. Escape to the Northern Territory where warmer weather is awaiting. Early bird deals available – link in bio! #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia

Prepare to be blown away by the vibrant colours of @angkerlestandleychasm. Sacred to Arrernte women's dreaming, it is located in a private flora and fauna reserve surrounded by the West MacDonnell National Park | Tjoritja near #AliceSprings. Wander up to the chasm, get a bite to eat at the café or join one of the cultural tours with an Arrente local. Our tip? ​Time your visit for midday, when the sun beams down and lights up the chasm walls 📸 ​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @red_dirt_gypsy. ​ ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #StandleyChasm #HolidayHereThisYear

Can you hear the waves crashing on the shore and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin? Photos of @banubanuretreat will do that to you... 💙 Nestled in the north-east coves of Bremer Island, this @EastArnhemLand wilderness retreat offers an eco-escape from the hustle and bustle.

In between relaxing with a book, there’s plenty to do on the island including fishing, bird watching, walking or guided cultural experiences.

Find your balance in a place where balance is second nature. Come sunrise and sunset, Karlu Karlu | #DevilsMarbles are 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 called 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, @benjamin_salisbury. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #holidayherethisyear

#JimJimFalls has opened for the dry season... meet ya there? 🤠 This iconic #KakaduNationalPark location, famous for its Jurassic Park-style scenery, can be reached by a moderately difficult 2 kilometre (return) hike. The walk takes you through monsoon forest and over boulders to a deep natural pool, all surrounded by dramatic 200 metre cliffs. ​ ​The name doesn't come from a man (or two) named Jim, but from andjimdjim, an Aboriginal name for the water pandanus that line the creek. Road access is by 4WD only 🚗 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @imtravellingabroad! #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #holidayherethisyear #seekakadu #dokakadu
