Katherine is best known in Australia’s Northern Territory for nearby Nitmiluk Gorge, where the Katherine River cuts through a chain of 13 sandstone gorges. The town lies on the Stuart Highway in the tropical north, between Darwin and the vast inland, and its river remains central to local life. Nitmiluk National Park is jointly managed with the Jawoyn people, the Traditional Owners of this country; their connection to the area informs the park’s interpretation. Katherine Hot Springs is a public swimming spot supplied by clear, warm spring water. The region’s distinct wet and dry seasons shape travel and outdoor life.
