Add a photo or a quick review to help fellow travellers.
Butterfly Gorge Nature Park protects some of the most remarkable landscapes in Katherine's spectacular gorge country — where 13 sandstone gorges, thermal hot springs, and the transition from tropical to arid create landscapes that stop you in your tracks. Walking through this park, you're treading on country that Aboriginal people have cared for over 65,000 years. Ancient rock formations, unique wildlife, and the raw beauty of untouched Australia await. Check road conditions before visiting — some areas are seasonal access only. Carry water, wear sturdy shoes, and start walks early to beat the heat.
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.
Strong pick for national parks — well worth the detour.
