Definitely a very long day, and a lot of time on the bus. As it is wet season less stuff is open, but our driver managed to make our breaks down to Katherine interesting and educational. Once AT Katherine, the gorge(s) are of course GORGEous. Truly a beautiful part of Australia, and I would love to come back in the dry season and experience more of it, including water sports in the later gorges, and view rock art in the area. Also say the water buffalo of Crocodile Dundee fans, and learned that it was loosely based on a real person!

Edith Fall was great and we had lots of time to swim. Then the Gorges. Always beautiful. The weather was too hot for more. The smaller 4WD bus was good but it was hard on the back at highway speed for a group of advanced seniors. A beautiful

Loved Katherine gorge, beautiful peaceful cruises, the walk between the two boats is also nice. Edith falls a bit disappointing, but really nice to have a dip and a cool off. Grounds are well kept and clean. Great driver tour guide. Well organised Thanks Definitely recommend.
