Nitmiluk National Park

Nitmiluk is another national park in Australia's Northern Territory that borders Kakadu (see another post) to the south. Nitmiluk is best known for a series of sandstone gorges on the Katherine River, collectively known as Katherine Gorge and for Edith Falls.
Like many of these lands in Australia, the local aboriginal people are the custodians of the land, and they manage it in cooperation with the Australian parks folks.
The 1st 7 pictures are in the Katherine Gorge. We visited on 2 of the 13 gorges as they are separated by rocky cataracts that the cruise board can't navigate. Note the cave in the 6th picture that usually floods in the wet season, and some more rock art on the side of the gorge.
The last 2 pictures are at Edith Falls. The 8th picture is of the falls where they drop from the upper pool (not visible through the Rick cut) to the lower. Both pools are open for swimming. The last picture looks downstream from the lower pool.Leggi altro
