Approximately 3000 square kilometers of territory enclose the Edith Falls, ideal for swimming, and Nitmiluk, the Aboriginal name for Katherine Gorge. Katherine Gorge is a great encounter with spectacular nature: the narrow and long rock fissure is navigable from April to November. Suddenly, you find yourself immersed in silence, broken only by the sound of birds. The blue sky becomes more and more distant, while the shadow of the sheer walls makes the air even cooler. It is divided into 12 different canyons separated by rapids, which are spectacular during the rainy season from November to April. At the Visitors Centre, you can find information about excursions, cruises, and various activities (such as canoeing) related to this splendid park.
This is the land inhabited by the Jawoyn people, who are happy to share their culture through unique experiences.
Nitmiluk is the Aboriginal name for Katherine Gorge and it means "the place of cicadas," which originates from the onomatopoeic sound "nit nit nit" produced by their song.
