Gray Line Darwin » Katherine Gorge

Katherine Gorge set deep within the stone country of Nitmiluk National Park is a dramatic setting. The towering rock wall ramparts above the Katherine River, ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, prolific birdlife, and a boat journey into the 'never never' land highlight the grandeur of this spectacular gorge. Edith Falls cascading down the sheer rock wall face into a paperbark-encompassed plunge pool, Pine Creek historic town, and the Adelaide River War Cemetery offer amazing contrasts in a powerful outback land.
