提维群岛

Parlingarri (creation time) it is believed that the whole world was in perpetual darkness and inhabited by yamparriparri (evil spirits). The wulimaka (old lady) Murtankala came up from underground with three children in a tunga (bark bag) on her back. As she moved around on the surface, she created grooves and crevices in the land with her body. Some of these filled with water and created the geographical shapes and channels of the Tiwi Islands. She made yikwani (fire) by rubbing grass and sticks together and lifted it up into the sky with her two hands to create light for her children, one of whom was Purukuparli (the first Tiwi man). This light became warnarringa (the sun).

Paradise awaits in @tourismtopend… 💙 @TiwiIslandRetreat can be found at Munanampi Point on the south-western coast of Bathurst Island, the smaller of the two major islands which make up the Tiwi Islands (80 kilometres north of #Darwin). The ecosystem around the retreat is virtually untouched with turtles, crocodiles, stingrays, mud crabs, dolphins, sharks and an abundance of bird-life right on its doorstep.​ Trip packages are designed for friends, couples or groups wanting to explore more of the #TiwiIslands and include return charter flights and twin share rooms with shared facilities. The retreat offers a diverse range of activities, such as scenic helicopter flights, mud-crabbing, art and cultural experiences along with a swimming hole adventure. Is a tropical escape on your 2022 bucket list? 🌴 Photos: @maxandfaye, @secrethunt and @morganreardon #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd

Gone fishing, Top End style! 🎣 It’s no secret that @TourismTopEnd is home to some of the best fishing in @Australia.​ Cast a line in the ‘build up’ between October to December as the water temperatures start to rise and the fish become more active in inland water catchments, rivers and billabongs 🚤 ​ ​Now with Season 7 of @million_dollar_fish, you can win up to a million bucks if you reel in a verified tagged barramundi! Over 100 prize-tagged barra, including a staggering eight tagged barramundi worth $1 million each, have been released into five incredible fishing regions – Darwin, Kakadu, Arnhem Land, Katherine and Tiwi Islands. Don't forget to register!  ​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @joshdlobb. ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #HolidayHereThisYear

Some local characters from our trip out to the Tiwi Islands.

Views over the Tiwi Islands 😍😍 We got to visit the Tiwi Islands twice while we were in the NT, once with tiwiislandretreat and on a day trip with sealinknt! Both such incredible experiences, couldn’t think of anywhere we’d rather be right now! 🌴🌞 With yet another trip being cancelled this week because of the lockdowns, we’re just going to focus on planning for next year. I think we’ll be escaping back to ntaustralia as soon as we possibly can! 😍 #ntaustralia #tiwiislands #seeaustralia

A pool with a view 🥥 Luckily the Tiwi island retreat have this amazing pool to swim in, as the sea in front looks so tempting, but is absolutely not swimmable! because of the resident crocs 🐊 and sharks 🦈 that you can see when the water is shallow

Who doesn’t love a sunset and cheeseboard, picnic combo 🧀🥂🌅 📸 ayshakerr #tiwiislandretreat
