Bask in the immensity of Simpson’s Gap and enjoy the stunning Roe Creek bed, surrounded by unique Australian wildlife and bushland.
Nitmiluk Gorge Walk
In Katherine, you’ll be offered the off-train excursion into Nitmiluk Gorge. Here, you can enjoy a boat ride, soaking up the surrounding natural landscape, crystal waters and sunny skies.
