Katherine Gorge – Baruwei Lookout

posted in: Northern Territory |

Near the town of Katherine is Nitmiluk National Park. Actually, until we got closer I’d only heard of it referred to as Katherine Gorge. The entrance to the park is just 30km outside of Katherine.

I really had my heart set on camping here for a night because the sunset hitting these rocks is supposed to be beautiful. During peak season this campground fills by early afternoon. … Read More
