The Nitmiluk Vistor Centre is the gateway to the Katherine Gorge, walks, park, campground and boat cruises. We chose a two hour cruise, thinking this was the best option for a little person and it worked well. Funnily enough, our tour guide was named Ben, and we'd met him and his partner Marcel a few weeks before at Fitzroy Crossing (WA) where they were holidaying. It was great to see him again and actually do his tour. (We ran into Marcel one day in Katherine's main street and had another quick chat which was nice.)
Snacking
We disturbed one crocodile, who made a hasty exit.
Not another photo Mum!
Aboriginal rock art site in the first gorge.
This picture depicts the Mimi spirit being who taught the people how to paint rock art. No-one is really sure how the artwork got to be so high up- perhaps a canoe was used during flood season.
Dancing on the rocks. There's always a time for a song and dance!
This one's for Amelia. She loved these drangonflies.
Spectacular!
Fruit bats in huge numbers.
The Nitmuluk visitor centre is great with plenty to see and do. We were amused for ages with videos and interesting displays (and the snake at the entry foyer was also fascinating for Amelia).
