Today we journey to Katherine via the historic Adelaide River Inn and Adelaide River War Cemetery. There is time to explore Katherine, before we join an afternoon cruise through Katherine Gorge as it winds its way through Nitmiluk National Park. The towering gorge walls provide shelter to many species of birds and animals as they nest amongst the vines and creepers clinging to the damp crevices in the sandstone walls.
