Your destination for a tropical outback adventure
Katherine and its surrounds are where the tropics meet the outback. Just a few hours south out of Darwin on the land of the Jawoyn people, you’ll find a region rich in natural beauty, culture and history.
Katherine is magical in the wet season and equally as spectacular in the dry. In the wet you’ll see the region come to life, with panoramas of vibrant green bushland and overflowing water holes. The dry will bring you cool, sunny days fit for swimming and exploring.
