Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls

Not much to do in the town of Katherine but visit the famous Katherine Gorge. You can explore up to 13 sections of gorge by foot, canoe or get on board a tourer boat.

There are rocky cascades in sections of the Katherine River that prevent the boats passing through so you disembark one boat, walk a few hundred metres via aboriginal rock art and get on another.

The river has carved its way along the grid like faults and fractures in the rock. Each 90 degree turn in the river is met with more spectacular views.

Leaving Katherine we took a small detour and J, K and Z had a refreshing swim at Edith Falls.
