Katherine Gorge, also known as Nitmiluk Gorge, is a series of 13 sandstone gorges carved by the Katherine River within Nitmiluk National Park in the Northern Territory. The area is known for its steep cliffs, Aboriginal rock art sites and a mix of tropical and outback landscapes. It is a culturally significant place for the Jawoyn people, who share ownership and management of the park. Visitors can explore the gorge through cruises, canoeing, hiking routes such as the Jatbula Trail and scenic helicopter flights. Swimming is generally restricted to the dry season from April to October due to crocodile management. The gorge is easily reached from the nearby town of Katherine.
