KATHERINE

Where the outback meets the tropics and
adventure meets relaxation, the Katherine
region is full of gorges and waterfalls,
thermal springs and ancient cultures –
the perfect stopover point during your
Territory adventure.
Gateway to stunning Nitmiluk National
Park, the Katherine region covers about
480,000 square kilometres. Nitmiluk
(Katherine) Gorge encompasses 13
ancient sandstone gorges and is the area’s
major attraction. See how the Katherine
River has sliced through the towering
sandstone cliffs to form the famous gorge
as you cruise on the tranquil waters.
