Explore Boon Hill, a walking track in the Katherine region, gateway to spectacular gorge country, thermal hot springs, and the transition zone between the tropical Top End and the arid Red Centre. Whether you're after a leisurely stroll or a challenging trek, this trail delivers stunning views and a genuine connection with the Australian bush. Best enjoyed in the dry season (May–October) when conditions are cooler and tracks are accessible.
Plan your visit
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.

Last updated · 12 days agoWhere does this information come from?
Each location is scored from existing data: visitor ratings & review volume (social proof), official verification, amenities, safety warnings, access friction (permits/4WD), and how fresh the info is.
We show a score once a place has at least 5 visitor reviews. Until then the facts on this page come from official sources and site data — no score is invented.
