Tennant Creek is our next stop and a chance for you to purchase some dinner and stretch your legs before we make the overnight journey to Katherine.DAY 5:: KATHERINE GORGE TO DARWIN An early morning stop in Katherine gives you the chance to purchase breakfast before we arrive at NitmilukNational Park, home to Katherine Gorge. Here you will have the chance to take an optional 2-hour breakfast cruise through the first 2 gorges (own expense and seasonal Apr-Nov). You’re in for a treat because early morning is the perfect time to experience and photograph the gorge in all its glory.
