Another great destination to explore in the Northern Territory is Nitmiluk National Park, just south of Kakadu. Formerly known as Katherine Gorge National Park, this rocky landscape is defined by its series of 13 gorges that join together to form Nitmiluk Gorge. This is a destination affected by the region’s two seasons, as the gorges become connected by the Katherine River during the wet season but separate in the dry season; it’s possible to swim or canoe in the calm pools that form. While the freshwater crocodiles that call Nitmiluk Gorge home are harmless, the saltwater crocodiles that come with the wet season are decidedly not. Other options for seeing the park’s beauty include the Windolf Walk or even a helicopter flight.
