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
