Katherine & Surrounds

Escaping from #winter like... 😜 While much of @Australia greets the first day of winter with woolly scarves, here in @TourismTopEnd we're still in our swimmers and shorts 👙 This spectacular throwback was captured by @_tribeofsix_ at one of #Kakadu National Park's lesser known gems, Maguk Gorge. Don't worry, the warm weather and beautiful swimming spots will still be waiting for you once its safe to travel again, but in the meantime, we'll try and send some balmy temperatures your way... here's looking at you, @visitmelbourne! Brrr! ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, ​@_tribeofsix_. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

Welcome to nature's very own adventure playground 🙌 The upper pool at Edith Falls (Leliyn) is the epitome of wild swimming with cool cascades and pretty bush land surrounds. ​​In the #Katherine region, lucky locals can now enjoy a number of spots in Nitmiluk National Park, with swimming open again at Edith Falls (Leliyn) and Southern Rockhole. ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @pierorsin. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

Get ready, we're bringing the #Uluru Camel Cup to you! 🐪 We'll be live streaming this iconic annual event on our YouTube channel tomorrow at 12.30pm AEST. With only a small number of local residents in attendance, the event will be a little different this year, however it promises to be just as entertaining! ​Tune in for live races, fashions OFF the field and much more! Sign up for a reminder via the link in our bio or check out our IG story. ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @jordhammond. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #UluruCamelCup

Care to join us for a virtual dip in paradise? The NT is home to an abundance of spectacular swimming spots, from heavenly hot springs in @TourismTopEnd to outback waterholes in @VisitCentralAus. Rest assured, they'll all be waiting for you when travel permits, including #Mataranka Thermal Pool, located only an hour south of #Katherine. This magical sandy-bottomed pool is filled with fresh spring water bubbling up at 34 degrees celsius 🙌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @powershala. ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #VisitKatherine ​

We’ll give you a second while you pick your jaw off the floor! The changing colours of #Uluru are without a doubt one of the monolith’s biggest drawcards, particularly at sunset when it can light up and turn bright orange!💥 @melissafindley captured this beauty of a shot on a scenic helicopter flight with @professional_helicopters, one of the many must-do experiences in @visitcentralaus. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, Melissa! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT
