  • It's a long way to Katherine, but worth it

    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!

  • A beautiful bumpy ride to a beautiful gorge
