Éveillez vos sens dans le Territoire du Nord

Our thoughts go out to our interstate and international mates, particularly in Victoria, at this tough time. While many of you can't travel right now, we're committed to bringing you a daily dose of vitamin-NT and brightening your feed with wide open spaces, World Heritage-listed National Parks, waterfalls and swimming holes. And one day, hopefully sometime soon, you can come and see it for yourself 💛 @_aswewander recently packed up their troopy and hit the road west of #AliceSprings, stopping at 2 Mile, a firm favourite with locals 🏕 The 2 Mile campground can be found on the banks of the Finke River near Glen Helen Gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges. While there are no toilets or fancy cooking facilities, this is free bush #camping at its finest...not only will you be surrounded by rolling mountain ranges, but you'll also be laying your head next to one of the oldest river systems in the world. Local tip: you'll need a 4WD to access this spot! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Luke and Jess. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Set in the towering escarpment country of #Kakadu National Park, they say Jim Jim Falls is so nice that they named it twice 😜 Boasting a sheer 200m drop, crystal clear waters and a white sandy beach, Jim Jim offers one of the most unique swimming experiences in @Australia. In the dry season the falls stop running and you can hike into the heart of the gorge and sit in the shadow of these spectacular cliffs. The 2 kilometre return walk is graded as moderately difficult, but rest assured, you'll be well rewarded for your efforts! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, ​@nickwillox.  ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu

When they tell you the NT is just one big desert 🤣 #Litchfield National Park is full of hidden gems but this heavenly spot has to be one of its brightest! Say 👋 to Tjaynera/Sandy Creek Falls! Located just 1.4 kilometres from the carpark, Sandy Creek was made for days filled with life's simple pleasures... kicking back with a good book, a cool dip or a stroll through the monsoon forest. These falls are accessible by 4WD vehicle only, making them an idyllic spot for a quiet camping weekend filled with frolicking in the clear waters of the plunge pool.

There's no shortage of gorge-ous views at Ormiston Gorge in @visitcentralaus 😍 Located in the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges near #AliceSprings, Ormiston is well known for its permanent freshwater swimming hole and epic towering red walls. While the water is a bit chilly over the winter months, it's the perfect time for getting out on one of the many hiking trails in the area, including the Pound and Ghost Gum walks. Nature therapy at its very best 🙌 ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @cedalisemariotti. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

The perfect end to another perfect day in #Darwin 🌴 Welcome to @MindilBeachResort's appropriately named beach club, Infinity 💦 ​While it's currently not possible to stay at the resort, visitors can still come and enjoy a number of onsite venues such as this one! Spend the day blissfully lounging on a sunbed, swimming in the glistening pool or grazing on scrumptious snacks while taking in the best panoramic beach sunset in town! ​To our mates who can't visit at this time, we look forward to sharing a cool drink with you in the near future. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @goossenick. ​ #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd
