Katherine and the Gorge

by iandsmith - last update: Nov 17, 2008

The far side

Part of Edith Falls
By the time I reached Katherine on my way around Australia it is fair to suggest that I wasn't in the best of moods to judge the town. This was further exacerbated by the fact that some low life stole my generator while I was parked beside one of the main sports grounds.
Frankly, I was fairly jittery by the time I headed out of town but I hope I can still give a fair assessment of what is available in the town.
For me the highlight was Edith Falls, part of the Katherine Gorge complex but a long way from where the main tourist area is.
If you want information on the multi-day Jatbula Trail, then may I kindly suggest fellow VTer 1+1's excellent travelogue on that expedition.

Pros:"Some good scenery outside of town, some attractions in the town"
Cons:"Seasonal town, can get very hot in summer"
In A Nutshell:"Worth putting into your itinerary"

 This time of year, I could easily trade in the lakes of northern Saskatchewan for a few tropical pools of water! Beautiful looking spot!
