Katherine is where the outback meets the tropics, a region full of gorges, misty waterfalls, thermal springs and ancient cultures.
You’ll be spoilt for choice from driving, fishing, camping, canoeing, kayaking and trekking or jump on board a sunset dinner cruise as you glide through Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park. If you’re up for an adventure why not join a helicopter tour and take to the skies for a bird’s eye view of this magnificent gorge.
See the mighty Katherine River flowing through Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk National Park), or head out for camping and adventure in the Elsey and Gregory National Parks. The Daly River and Gulf Region are renowned as top fishing destinations, and Mataranka is rich in history – the Never Never Museum tells of local Mangarayi and Yangman people and customs, and the more recent settlement of Europeans.
