gorges, do a multitude of bushwalks.....whatever you do, just do

Situated in the Heart of Katherine, our have our own thermal
springs which are a great place to have a dip in. With warm water just
gushing from the riverbed just take your towel and a picnic and
enjoy the sound of the waterfall on the lawned area. (No alcohol
permitted)
From here just follow the bitumised path along the riverbed
(about 1km) to the Low Level Nature Park.

The original "road bridge" across the Katherine river with
the weir underneath it, gives rise to more sounds of falling
water. Many peaceful spots along here to have a dip, picnic and
just relax. Up top on the riverbank are coin operated BBQ
facilities , grassed areas & toilets.
Try wetting a line for a barra or a brim.

This is the site of the "overland telegraph line" crossing
and also the original horseback crossing from an era gone by.
Situated at the rear of the Katherine Hospital it is also
a great spot to relax with the family with many secluded spots
walking distance downstream. The fisherman may try the Northern
bank upstream.

Situated about 20km downstream of Katherine out in the
Florina road district where many townsfolk live on their 20 acre
rural retreats. Galloping Jacks (or christies Rapids) and about
1km further is Crystal rapids (depends on who you speak to).
Another great area to have a bit of R&R, have a BBQ , throw a
lure or just try out the camera. Who knows you might be the only
ones there? |

Right in town overlooking the river, you can park in the car
park at the Darwin end of town or walk over from the other side.
Great views of the Katherine River & Main Katherine River
Bridge.
Just wait for views of the Red Cross Canoe Marathon. |
