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 the stunning Nitmiluk National
       Park, the Katherine region covers about
       480,000 square kilometres. 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.                                                                                       Tourism NT/James Fisher
