NITMILUK – KATHERINE GORGE
Nitmiluk National Park features a massive gorge carved through layers of sandstone by the Katherine River
You can hire a canoe or take a boat cruise up the gorge. We had a guide with a good knowledge of the local geology, vegetation and cultural history, which gave us a better appreciation of the gorge.
Ancient rock art is scattered throughout the gorge
Dry season exposes sandy beaches and great swimming holes, once the saltwater crocs have been removed
This little guy watched on, amused, as we painted on the banks of the river.
