We love Uluru and The Outback, so we put together 20 photos to show you the best things to see and do on any trip to the Red Centre.
1. There is nowhere on earth quite like Uluru, the heart of Australia.
You have to go there to see what we mean. It’s a feeling.
2. The sunsets will blow you away.
The Northern Territory has some of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve seen anywhere in the world.
3. The night skies make you feel like you’re dreaming.
If you’ve never seen the milky way head for the NT. We saw it almost every night!
4. Red roads.
Red roads in the heart of Australia always made it feel like we were on an adventure!
5. You can visit the Kangaroo Sanctuary.
Warning: Milly and Tilly will steal your heart.
Why not stay in Alice Springs longer and tick off our list of the best things to do?
6. The water holes are out of this world. Oh and they’re croc free too.
The Top End has some amazing waterholes too but we loved the ones around Alice which are beautiful and croc free.
You can check even more of the best swimming spots in the Northern Territory on our blog.
7. Look into Australia's history through art that has existed for thousands of years.
You can see well preserved rock art very near to Alice, at Emily and Jessie Gaps.
8. Deserted hiking trails that look like this.
Trephina gorge is one of our favourite places in the NT, so good we went twice!
9. Watch out on the roads for camels crossing!
If you thought wild camels were only in the Middle East, think again!
10. Tractor tyres are given a new lease of life.
A whole meaning to the word tubing!
11. So we mentioned the sunsets already but the sunrises are pretty unforgettable too.
An Outback sunrise is one you’ll never forget.
12. Kata Tjuta, and it’s just as captivating as Uluru.
In fact we liked the Valley of the Winds walk even more than the Uluru base walk!
13. You will never find yourself in a traffic jam.
Anyone else feel a road trip coming on?!
14. There’s luxury in the desert and it looks like this.
The only thing that got me out this desert jacuzzi was another incredible sunset!
15. Amazing views on the Kings Canyon Rim walk.
Easily one of our favourite walks in the whole of Australia.
16. When your breakfast is accompanied by a spot of wildlife watching.
Roos are everywhere in the Outback! This one was hopping around Olive Pink Botanic Garden, our favourite brunch spot in Alice.
You can check out more of our favourite places to see Australian animals in the wild on our blog.
17. Wild landscapes
Wilderness at your finger tips!
18. Dining under the stars.
The Sounds of Silence dinner had been on our bucket list for a long time. It’s a little pricey but a memory you ‘ll treasure forever.
19. The incredible colours of the Outback.
There’s nowhere else like it on earth!
20. Even the view from the plane is dramatic.
Make sure you pick the window seat!
