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, @jarradseng and @thehatchling. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

So, you've heard of #Litchfield National Park and all its big name attractions such as Wangi Falls and Buley Rockhole, but have you ever visited this surprising spot? Surprise Creek Falls is home to a small waterfall and a series of rock pools, perfect for a cool dip 🌴☀️ With two river crossings along the way, this spot is only accessible by four-wheel drive. The track is just a 40-minute drive off the main road and is followed by a short walk to the falls through a pretty monsoon forest. Stay a few nights at the campground and relax in this beautiful part of @TourismTopEnd, which never has too many people around at one time.

Spring has certainly sprung in @visitcentralaus and we're here for it! 🙌  @kendallbaggerly recently ventured to Ormiston Gorge, one of the many spectacular swimming spots near #AliceSprings. This oasis in the middle of the West MacDonnell Ranges is as pretty as a picture with red rock walls, towering trees and a permanent freshwater pool. BYO picnic rug, book and floatie 👌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Kendall. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Sail off into the sunset with us? 💜 To fully appreciate #Darwin's magnificent harbour, a boat cruise is definitely a must! Step aboard one of the many vessels and enjoy delicious canapes or a Territory-style buffet coupled with a glass (or two!) of bubbles 🍾 ​The stunning afternoon colour display is the highlight of this Top End experience with no two sunsets the same 🌅 ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @wanderingofftrack_. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

@ParrtjimaAustralia - A Festival in Light starts tonight in #AliceSprings ✨ This annual free festival is the only authentic Aboriginal light event of its kind with 10 nights of dazzling light installations from a number of Aboriginal artists, set against the majestic MacDonnell Ranges. Alongside the artworks you can enjoy a program packed full of live talks, events and music by local musicians. Wondering what the name means? Local, senior Arrernte people chose the name 'Parrtjima' (pronounced Parr-Chee-Ma) as it suggests shedding both light and understanding on a subject.  ​​Photos: @jameshoranphoto (Image 2&4) and @seanscottphotography (image 3) ​#NTaustralia #RedCentreNT #Parrtjima
