REGION: Katherine
Lying 310km from Darwin, Katherine is a centre for beef-cattle properties, produce farms and the Tindal RAAF Base. Katherine is also the gateway to Nitmiluk National Park. Renowned Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, 29km SE, can be viewed by canoe, flat-bottomed tour boat, scenic flight or helicopter. Edith Falls, 62km to the north, is also in Nitmiluk National Park and worth a visit. So too is Springvale Homestead, 8km west, the oldest remaining homestead in the Territory, built by Alfred Giles in 1878. Cutta Cutta Caves, 500-million-year-old limestone caves 27km south, are the home of the rare orange horseshoe bat, with cave tours available yearround. Flora River Nature Park, 86km SW, features unique tufa dams, pools and cascades. Aboriginal cultural tours are available at Manyallaluk, Eva Valley. |
