Nitmiluk National Park

Nitmiluk National Park Marvel at an area rich in river systems & spectacular sandstone valleys
Located 320km south of Darwin Accommodation is available within the National Park.

Be drawn to the spectacular sandstone country of Nitmiluk National Park and the majestic Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge with spectacular cliffs that glow in the changing light. Nitmiluk National Park, just 30 kilometres north-east of Katherine, covers a vast area, including 13 impressive gorges carved from the ancient sandstone country which stretch for as far as the eye can see. Located on the lands

of the Jawoyn people, rock art sites dot the park and dreaming stories bring the silent gorge walls to life. You can learn about the Jawoyn people’s association with the land at the Nitmiluk Centre or by taking a boat cruise of the first few gorges. Take sunrise or sunset cruises and see the gorge turn all shades of mauve and red. There are canoes for hire or you can get a permit to use your own canoe from the Nitmiluk National Park Visitor Centre. You can canoe to the fourth, sixth and ninth gorges and camp overnight, but make sure you book ahead of time by calling Nitmiluk Tours. Explore the world-famous park and gorge country on foot, by canoe, boat or helicopter. Choose from camping, to chalets through to the upmarket Cicada Lodge. Nitmiluk National Park has something for everyone!

About: The Rainbow Lorikeet is a brightly coloured Australian parrot found mainly along the eastern coast of Australia, including forests, woodlands, and urban areas. It measures about 25–30 cm in length and typically weighs around 75–157 grams. It is easily recognised by its vivid blue head, green wings and back, orange-yellow chest, and bright red beak. These birds are highly social and noisy, often travelling in fast-moving flocks and feeding mainly on nectar, pollen, fruits, and flowers using their brush-tipped tongues.
