May 22-25 Katherine

Although we spent some time in Katherine on our last trip, we decided to stay there for four nights, giving us a rest from the constant packing up and moving on.

We vised Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge), this time on a boat tour through the first three gorges with a visit to a swimming hole. It is such a magical place to visit, where the water has carved out gorges from the sandstone, leaving massive rock walls towering over the Katherine River.

We also walked around Edith Falls, stopping halfway for a swim in another natural pool, complete with waterfall.

It is hot here, so swimming every day is a must to cool off. We visited the Katherine Hot springs too, as well as enjoying the pool at the caravan park.
