Itinerary:
Darwin
to Katherine
Leaving
Darwin we travel south through tropical country, passing former
WWII airstrips en route to Adelaide River. We make
a short stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a site dedicated
to those killed in the air raids in Darwin in the 1940's.
Continue to Edith Falls, where there is time for a
refreshing swim. After lunch (available for purchase) we join
a 2 hour scenic cruise through Katherine Gorge
(seasonal) in Nitmiluk National Park, with a chance to see
fresh water crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of
the river. Our tour of the first two gorges takes us past
sheer rock walls and requires a short walk to reach the second
gorge.
Enjoy
a brief tour of Katherine, the third largest town in
the Territory and hub of the region's cattle and farming industries.
Travel via Pine Creek where we see old chinese diggings
and historical buildings, before an evening stop is made at
Adelaide River where you may purchase dinner (own expense).
You may like to sample the famous 'Barra and Chips', before
returning to Darwin.
