How to get to Cutta Cutta Caves from Katherine Australia
Darwin
to Alice Springs Australia - About Cutta Cutta Caves from Katherine
in Northern Territory Australia.
Cutta Cutta Caves - Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park covers 1,499 hectares
of limestone (Karst) landscape, which is limited to only a few locations
in Northern Australia. Spectacular features such as Karst formations
and complex cave networks are a feature of the Park. Tower-like
masses of Tindal limestone with some supporting large boulders and
various surface depressions are other features of this landscape.
The main feature of the park is the Cutta Cutta Caves, a limestone
formation of stalactites and stalagmites. It is home to five species
of bats, including the rare ghost and horseshoe bats. The harmless
brown tree snake also inhabits the caves and can often be seen coiled
upon cave ledges. About 170 species of birds have been recorded
within the park, including the Hooded Parrot and the endangered
Gouldian Finch.
Access is via the Stuart Highway 30 km south of Katherine. The carpark
and visitor centre are one km from the Highway along a sealed road.
The park is open daily all year, however during the Wet Season (December
to April) the caves may be closed due to flooding. The most comfortable
time to visit the park is between May and August.
The park concession conducts daily guided tours, generally conducted
on the hour, of the cave system. The Tropical Woodland walk begins
near the carpark and enables visitors to experience the open tropical
woodland. Allow 10 to 20 minutes to complete the walk.
A small kiosk sells tour tickets, refreshments and souvenirs. Toilets
and covered seating are provided.
The cave tours are guided, so please do not enter the caves unattended.
While underground, do not touch or damage the calcite formation.
Keep to the walking tracks and remember all cultural items and wildlife
are protected.
Pets are not permitted in this Park, neither are nets, traps and
firearms.

How to get to Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park
Australia
Darwin
to Alice Springs Australia - About Katherine Gorge and Katherine
Gorge cruises in Northern Territory Australia.
Katherine Gorge - Nitmiluk National Park This 292,800 hectare National
Park is owned by the Jawoyn Aboriginal people and jointly managed
with the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory.
Some of the Park's features include spectacular dissected sandstone
country, broad valleys and numerous, significant cultural sites.
The deep gorge carved through ancient sandstone by the Katherine
River is the central attraction of the Park.
How to Get There Nitmiluk National Park is located in the Top End
of Australia's Northern Territory. The Park has two main points
of visitor access. The Park's main entrance is located 30 km northeast
of Katherine via a sealed road. Katherine is located 310 km south
of Darwin along the Stuart Highway. This road is called gorge road
and also we knoew it as Maud Creek Road on occassions.
Leliyn
(Edith Falls) on the western side of the Park, is reached by
turning off the Stuart Highway 42km north of Katherine then following
a sealed road for a further 19km. When to Visit The most comfortable
months to visit the Park are from May to September.
The wet season causes flooding of the Katherine River and restrictions
on some of the activities available. The access road may be cut
off for short periods during peak flooding times. Visitor Facilities
The picnic area provides gas barbecues, picnic furniture and toilet
facilities.
You may ask - how many gorges in Nitmiluk or your may say how many
gorges in Katherine Gorge: Nitmiluk has 13 gorges carved from the
ancient sandstone country. Nitmiluk Katherine Gorgeapart from being
made up of thirteen gorges, with rapids and falls. Its a a body
of water that starts in Kakadu National Park before making its way
down to Nitmiluk National Park.
How to get to Southern Rockhole in Nitmiluk National Park
Australia
Darwin
to Alice Springs Australia - About Katherine Gorge and Katherine
Gorge cruises in Northern Territory Australia.
Southern Rockhole is an approximate 3 hour return bush walk of approximately
8+ klm return. Map
of the walk to Southern Rockhole in Nitmiluk or let's say 4
klm walking track form the Nitmiluk Visitors Information Centre
(some old locals refer still as Katherine Gorge Visitors Information
Centre but there are 13 gorges and many water falls so Nimitulk
makes more sense to me and I'm a local since 1988.

Southern Rockhole blog: We found
two steep points, one is towards the start to get over the rock
escarpment and the other when you walk back out of the valley from
the Southern Rockhole end. Smaller streams of pristine cystral clear
water seem to crisscross our path to the Southern Rockhole in Nitmiluk.
Rock hoping was need on many occassions like also experienced back
on the Jim Jim plunge pool walk. The best was hearing the sounds
of the falls in the near distance and then coming into view it was
so memorable a 1000 instagrams could capture a photo of what we
saw. So our suggestion start early and spend a full day and simiply
enjoy outback Northern territory at it's best.
Where is Windolf Walk
Also a quiet popular walk simiply because it's a much shorter walk.
The Windolf Walk takes you to more pictureque view viewing lookout
called Pat's Lookout. After theis you can go back or continue on
to the Southern Rockhole so make sure you get your make at the Nitmiluk
Centre and proper hiking and walking advise before you leave the
Nitmiluk Tourist Information Centre.

Things to
do in Darwin
Crocosaurus Cove Darwin is a great way to spend 1-3 hours if you
have a layover in Darwin or overnight and need a time filler. It's
in the heart of the CBD. If you can't find time to go on a crocodile
cruise and there are many from Darwin then this is the next best
thing that will let you be real close to a live Australian saltwater
crocodile. Crocosaurus Cove is actually Crocosaurus
Cove Aquarium which is modeled after a typical Top End river
system in Northern Territory. I actually liked the display of Australian
Reptiles they had and they displayed some 70+ species of reptiles
truly fascinating as we spent hours and I went round 3 times and
I'm a local here. There are around 180 crocodiles there so they
established a little interaction for you called the 'cage
of death'.

Warnings
about crocodiles
How many crocodiles are there in the Northern Territory well its
estimated to be somewhere around 100 000 crocodiles in the wild.
Now protected but once hunted to near extinction around here. Crocodile
skins used to be a major export product from Australia. But always
be aware for the signs
and warning when going to the rivers and parks in the Top End
on crocodiles. Scary well folks did you know that the world’s largest
reptile is our very own Northern Territory Saltwater Crocodile.
The picture is of a crocodile trap in Darwin Harbour. So if you
want to see crocodiles then take a cruise or eco adventure tour
that includes a fresh
water sightseeing cruise.
