Set your alarm for an early wake-up and drive to Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park for a morning coffee view with a difference! ☕ Located 30 minutes from Yulara and the region's main resort, Talinguru Nyakunytjaku is the chief sunrise viewing area for #Uluṟu. You’ll find the perfect spot among its shelters, viewing platforms and walking tracks. At dawn, the first rays of sunlight appear over the sand dunes behind the viewing platforms. The sun rises and the rock comes to life as light and shade dance across the ripples on its surface 🧡 Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @taraszka. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #SeeUluru #DoUluru #holidayherethisyear

These towering red walls can be found at #SimpsonsGap | Rungutjirpa, just 18km west of #AliceSprings in the magnificent West MacDonnell National Park | Tjoritja. As one of the most unique gaps in the mountain range, it’s really impressive to stand within 🙌 Watch the walls glow late in the afternoon from reflected sunlight, creating a beautiful display of stark form and rich colour.

Same, same but different! Just 35 kilometres west of Uluṟu, the domes of Kata Tjuṯa sit shoulder to shoulder and form a spectacular and unique configuration of deep valleys and steep gorges spread over more than 20 kilometres (12.4 miles). Captured from different angles, but both at sunrise, these stunning shots showcase just how different these red "rockbergs" look from two of the designated viewing areas inside Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. ​You can explore these ancient rock formations on walking trails that range from easy strolls to longer, more difficult tracks or view them from the air on a scenic flight.

This lesser known geological wonder is equally spectacular at sunrise and sunset when it changes from ochre red to orange and purple.
