Oh Kata Tjuṯa, you're a photographer's dream 😍 To fully appreciate this natural wonder, you need to experience it from the air 🚁 The scale and size of #KataTjuṯa (The Olgas) is almost unbelievable as you glide over the 36 ochre-coloured domes, the highest of which stands 198 metres taller than #Uluṟu! @Professional_Helicopters and @ayersrockhelicopters offer daily aerial tours of many of @visitcentralaus' main attractions including Uluṟu, Mount Conner, Kings Canyon and Lake Amadeus. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @katiikerr. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #holidayherethisyear

Sunset hits different at #Uluṟu 🧡✨ Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park has five dedicated viewing areas which are cleverly positioned so that you can see the magical moment when the sun’s rays hit the rock and it's surface changes colour. More than just a photo opportunity, Uluṟu also holds great spiritual and cultural significance to local Aṉangu (the traditional owners of the area). Join a cultural tour with @exploreuluru or @seitoutbackaustralia and learn more about the history behind this special part of @visitcentralaus from knowledgeable guides.

A rainy day in the Red Centre 🧡 @keiranlusk captured these wonderful wet and wild scenes at #Uluru yesterday, following a downpour in @visitcentralaus. This rare sight is a treat for visitors to the region, with waterfalls flowing down the sides of this iconic monolith.

An evening of dining under a sparkling outback sky with views of #Uluru and #KataTjuta... need we say more? 🥂 The Sounds of Silence dinner experience begins at sunset with canapes and sparkling wine served on a private viewing platform overlooking the national park. As the sun dips below the horizon and darkness falls to the sound of a didgeridoo, join your table of fellow travellers for an unforgettable night of food, Aboriginal culture and star-gazing 🔭 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @samararose_laing. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #ExploreUluru #holidayherethisyear

Experience authentic local Aboriginal art and culture with @MarukuArts at #Uluru. For thousands of years, the local Anangu have passed down their knowledge generation to generation, to keep the land, their culture and their people strong. Maruku Arts offers a number of experiences, including cultural walks and dot painting workshops. Wander the Kuniya walk at the base of Uluru with your local Anangu guide, or join an Anangu artist and learn about the different symbols used to create beautiful works of art depicting Creation Time (Tjukurpa) stories. #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #holidayherethisyear

Good evening from the Red Centre 🧡 This week @bryanhynes_ perfectly captured the 'veins' that run through the outback landscapes surrounding #Uluru...there's a reason why it's called spiritual heart of @Australia 🙌 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @bryanhynes_! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #SeeUluru #ExploreUluru #holidayherethisyear

Stroll among the stars at the #FieldOfLight with @exploreuluru ✨ The celebrated open air installation is made up of some 50,000 individual stems, crowned with colourful frosted glass bulbs that appear to sway as the starry night blankets @visitcentralaus. Wander at your leisure through the field at sunrise or sunset and marvel at this magical location created by renowned artist, Bruce Munro. General admission is available, or you can make your visit that little bit more special with the Star Pass experience, which includes sunset drinks and canapes overlooking the field. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @mmarrky! #SeeAustralia #RedCentre #Holidayherethisyear

Iconic scenes are around every corner at #KingsCanyon! Take the stairs down to the reflective waters of the Garden of Eden, located roughly halfway along the Rim Walk, and enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by the gentle sounds of the outback landscape 🌿🧡 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @brodygamblephotography! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Take the open road… to the unexpected in @visitcentralaus 🚗 It's difficult to describe the feeling that comes over you when you first lay eyes on Kata Tjuṯa (The Olgas). Equal parts ancient and imposing, these ochre-coloured rock domes are spread over more 20 square kilometres and soar up to 546 metres above the surrounding plain, almost 200 metres higher than Uluṟu. Choose from a number of walking trails that range from easy strolls to longer, more difficult tracks. Visit one of the viewing areas at sunrise or sunset and watch the domes glow and change colour with the surrounding desert landscape 🧡 Located about 40 kilometres from Uluṟu, ‘Kata Tjuta’ is a Pitjantjatjara term that means ‘many heads’. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @abbeycholmes! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Stop scrolling... pastel skies alert 💕 @caitensphoto captured this spectacular sunrise at Uluṟu in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, proving that it really is worth setting an early alarm! ​This iconic dual World Heritage-listed park has five dedicated viewing areas which are cleverly positioned so that you can see the magical moment when the sun’s rays hit the rock and its surface changes colour. More than just a photo opportunity, #Uluru also holds great spiritual and cultural significance to local Aṉangu (the traditional owners of the area).

A spectacular moonset (and sunrise!) at Kata Tjuta in @visitcentralaus 🌕 It might not be as instantly recognisable as Uluru, but Kata Tjuta is just as impressive as its famous neighbour. The 36 domes cover more than 20 square kilometres and soar up to 546 metres above the surrounding plain. ‘Kata Tjuta’ is a Pitjantjatjara term that means ‘many heads’. For the local Anangu, Kata Tjuta is an extremely important site for men’s business. Set your alarm and head to the Dune Viewing Area for stunning early morning views over the outback landscape, including Kata Tjuta and Uluru. Nature-lovers will want to experience the walking trailing at Walpa Gorge, a narrow creek valley between two of Kata Tjuta’s largest domes.

Sleep in OR this incredible dawn view? We know which one we'd prefer! 🌄🙌 Take in the outback's spectacular sunrise colour palette of pinks and purples on the #KingsCanyon Rim Walk in @visitcentralaus. Start the 6 kilometre hike early and witness the sun rise over the dramatic landscape. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @juniorhill92. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Looking GOOD, #KingsCanyon! 👑 Only three hours from #Uluru in Watarrka National Park on the traditional lands of the Matutjara people, this spectacular location features 100 metre high ancient sandstone walls 🙌 What’s the best way to see it? The Rim Walk, of course! This challenging but rewarding 6 kilometre hike skirts the edge of the canyon for much of the trail, providing Insta-worthy views of the cliffs and surrounding landscape. The 3-4 hour walk deserves a comfortable place to rest your head...nearby @KingsCreekStation has you covered! Our tip? Start the walk early over the summer months and watch the sun rise over the canyon. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @selwyn_photography! #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT @kingscanyon

It’s not every day you see a waterfall flowing at @seeuluru! 🌧😍 Lucky visitors to the region have been treated to waterfall events a few times over the past three months. While many travellers to the massive monolith come to witness the rich reds and bright oranges at sunrise and sunset, only a few get to witness the incredible colours and waterfalls that occur after heavy rainfall.

#KataTjuta (#TheOlgas) is simply radiant at sunset ✨ Grab your walking boots to experience these incredible ochre-coloured domes, located only 30 minutes west of #Uluru. Get the full panorama on the 600 metre walk to the dune viewing area, take the 2.6 kilometre (return) Walpa Gorge walk past rare plants to a spearwood grove or do the Valley of the Winds walk, the full 7.4 kilometre circuit into the heart of Kata Tjuta (which is actually 200 metres higher than Uluru!). ​​ ​ Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, ​@keiranlusk. ​ ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT
