Katherine offers an ideal retreat after a day's exploring the area.
Katherine Gorge is in the Nitmibul National Park. A most amazing place to visit and enjoy.
The Visitors Center has displays outlining the geology, landscape and Aboriginal history - which we found to be very informative.
There is also a very nice souvenir shop, toilets facilities and a kiosk which over looks the Katherine River.
There are boat cruises for Katherine Gorge. Some of the cruises cover the morning and visitors are back by lunch time and for the more adventurous visitor a day long cruise. The tour guides make the cruise very enjoyable and I would recommend either trip depending on visitors' time available.
Best time to visit Katherine would be between May to September.
If you are thinking 2012 for your next holiday, I would not hesitate to recommend a visit to the Northern Territory and especially the Katherine region.
