Beautiful

A lovely area in the Top End. Interesting landscapes and beautiful gorges. Katherine gorge is a highlight for sure. Deep red stones, lots of water. The NP is great to explore, camp and visit. Camp grounds are excellent. Lots of wallabies around.

The george is fabulous with a good cafe and information centre

This is a great place to visit on a tour. While you are waiting you can get lunch at the great cafe and also read about the place at the visitor centre. You can either sit inside or outside while you eat.

A beautiful part of the Northern Territory

This is a lovely area and we stayed at the camp ground which gave easy access to the cruises that go through Katherine Gorge. It is easy to get to from Katherine.

Hello - how safe is the drive back to Katherine at night after the sunset cruise? Is it a busy run back perhaps with fellow travellers? Thanks!

You just need to slow down...watch the sides of the road for the little critters and use high beam when no other cars in front or oncoming. Don't get distracted when driving and you'll be fine.
