BIG4 Breeze Holiday Parks – Katherine

Katherine’s waterfalls are neat indeed. Katherine Gorge (half an hour’s drive) is one of the Nitmiluk National Park’s 13 gorges, scattered with glowing cliffs, aboriginal sandstone art and sandy wild swimming spots. Canoe, boat or hike your way around, and end the day with a dip in the Southern Rockhole (half an hour), accessible with a four-kilometre hike from the top of the first gorge. If that’s given you a taste for Katherine hikes, head to the Nitmiluk Visitor Center (half an hour) for the start of the 58-kilometre Jatbula Trail. It ends at Edith Falls, but passes through the rainforest and by waterfalls and swimming holes. The Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park (25 minutes) is a cool spot too, with limestone karst caves and everything from bats to stalactites and stalagmites. However, if you feel it’s time for a little local history, The Katherine Museum (10 minutes) might be up next.
