Seek different in the Northern Territory

Picture this: you awaken at your private campsite to one of the most spectacular sunrises in the world ❤🌄 This dreamy shot is taken at Counts Point, which is a 15km return hike and typically takes around 7 hours to undertake. ✨ Counts Point is apart of the iconic #LarapintaTrail which is ranked as one of the top 20 treks in the world. Challenge yourself to hike the whole trail or tackle one or more of its 12 sections, all of which vary in difficulty and length. Each section can also be reached by four-wheel drive, so you can join or leave the trail at any of the trailheads.🤙 Is the Larapinta trail on your bucket list? 😍 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia @brodygamblephotography #SeeAustralia #hiking #outback #roadtripaustralia #naturelovers #outback #hikingaustralia

#RobinFalls is one of @TourismTopEnd's best-kept secrets 🤫 While most travellers flock to Litchfield National Park for its famous waterfalls, few know about the incredible adventure that awaits just outside the park's boundary. This stunning three-tiered waterfall is accessible via a short walk along a crystal-clear creek through lush tropical woodlands. It's the perfect spot to escape the crowds and take a refreshing dip, just 1.5 hours south of #Darwin. 📸: @barefoot.blaze #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #chasingwaterfalls #roadtripaustralia #hiddengem #tropicalvibes #swimming

The skies light up at #Uluṟu for Wintjiri Wiru, a spectacular light and sound show, that combines ancient Aṉangu storytelling with 1,100 luminous drones and state-of-the-art laser and light projection technology ✨ This unique experience has been lighting up the night sky since May 2023 with three different ways to witness the show. Wintjiri Wiru, means 'beautiful view out to the horizon' in the local Pitjantjatjara language. As custodians of the land, Aṉangu hold the Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluṟu.

Come sunrise and sunset, the #DevilsMarbles are the perfect spot to seek solitude, when the sun drenches the outback landscape in a blanket of orange, yellow and red 😍 Karlu Karlu, as the boulders are called by the Aboriginal traditional owners, were formed naturally, slowly eroding over millions of years into their strange and sometimes gravity-defying shapes. Wander the reserve’s walkways, where you’ll find granite boulders up to 6 metres tall scattered throughout the valley. These geological wonders are located just an hour south of #TennantCreek.
