Places to go in the NT | Northern Territory, Australia

Who's ready for a 🍻? Meet you at @dalywaterspub! ✨ Easily one of the most iconic outback pubs in #Australia 🦘 This lively place is clad in corrugated iron, draped with bougainvillea and crammed with decades of memorabilia; it's the perfect road trip stop 🚗 Cheers for tagging @ntaustralia @saltandcarbon

This is @standleychasm_angkerleatwatye, a spectacular geological wonder just 40 minutes from #AliceSprings, and an important cultural site for Western Arrernte people, particularly women. While Angkerle Atwatye is worthy of a visit at any time of the day, it looks particularly dramatic an hour either side of noon on a sunny day. This is when the light enters the chasm and the towering sheer walls glow from reflected sunlight ✨ Stay for a cultural experience tour with a local Aboriginal guide and a bite to eat at the café. #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #StandleyChasm #outbackaustralia #visitaustralia #Aboriginalculture [ID: Two people stand in the middle of an orange and red natural chasm with sunlight streaming down]

If you're looking for a unique experience while in the @visitkatherine region,@djilpinarts is well worth a visit! 👋 Here you can meet locals and artists, learn about traditional life and culture, browse and buy artworks, stay in their award-winning accommodation or experience seasonal cultural events, tours and immersions. On some of tours visit significant sites like Bullocky Head’s ceremonial site on the shoreline of Waterhouse River where ancient stone artefacts still litter the ground. Or Melkjulumbu (Beswick Falls), where mythical creatures like mermaids and mimi spirits share the waterhole with fish and freshwater crocodile. 🐊🧜‍♀ For more ways to experience Aboriginal culture in the Top End check out the link in our bio 👆 ID: three people gather around a fire next to a riverbed with escarpment in the background. #SeeAustralia #aboriginalculture #katherine #australianroadtrip
