Day 151 – 17th July 2011
Katherine Gorge Campsite, Nitmiluk National Park, NT
This morning we drove to Nitmiluk NP, 30km East of Katherine. We booked in at the campsite with a special offer of pay 2 nights and get the 3rd one free. Yeah! as this NP’s campsite is really a caravan park and there are no other camping options. After lunch we did the Butterfly Gorge walk (12km return – 3.5h), a nice walk passing through rocky woodland before entering a gorge with rainforest vegetation where we saw lots of insects and of course butterflies. The gorge ends at the Katherine River where, as the latter has not yet been declared croc free this dry season, swimming was not an option. Therefore upon our return to the caravan park we went for a dip in the swimming pool.
