We will never understand why someone looked at these waters and decided to call them Bitter Springs?!😍🤔 These crystal clear hot springs are located in @ElseyNationalPark, just two kilometres from #Mataranka and one hour south of @VisitKatherine. The colours of this spot are almost edible, with decadent turquoise blues from the springs set against the alluring green foliage of surrounding tropical woodlands. Feel like a float? Bring a pool noodle and enjoy a short and relaxing natural ride down the stream 💦 ID: A man standing on stairs and holding railing halfway into a blue pool of water. #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #roadtripaustralia #tropicalparadise #visitaustralia #swimmingaustralia #paradiseonearth #turquoise

Who's ready for a 🍻? Meet you at @dalywaterspub! ✨ Easily one of the most iconic outback pubs in #Australia 🦘 This lively place is clad in corrugated iron, draped with bougainvillea and crammed with decades of memorabilia; it's the perfect road trip stop 🚗 Cheers for tagging @ntaustralia @saltandcarbon

This is @standleychasm_angkerleatwatye, a spectacular geological wonder just 40 minutes from #AliceSprings, and an important cultural site for Western Arrernte people, particularly women. While Angkerle Atwatye is worthy of a visit at any time of the day, it looks particularly dramatic an hour either side of noon on a sunny day. This is when the light enters the chasm and the towering sheer walls glow from reflected sunlight ✨ Stay for a cultural experience tour with a local Aboriginal guide and a bite to eat at the café. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #StandleyChasm #outbackaustralia #visitaustralia #Aboriginalculture [ID: Two people stand in the middle of an orange and red natural chasm with sunlight streaming down]

On some of tours visit significant sites like Bullocky Head’s ceremonial site on the shoreline of Waterhouse River where ancient stone artefacts still litter the ground. Or Melkjulumbu (Beswick Falls), where mythical creatures like mermaids and mimi spirits share the waterhole with fish and freshwater crocodile. 🐊🧜‍♀ For more ways to experience Aboriginal culture in the Top End check out the link in our bio 👆 ID: three people gather around a fire next to a riverbed with escarpment in the background. #SeeAustralia #aboriginalculture #katherine #australianroadtrip
