Jarnem Lookout offers panoramic views across 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. The Territory's lookouts reveal the true scale and beauty of the landscape — from tropical floodplains to desert ranges stretching to the horizon. Best visited at sunrise or sunset for dramatic light. 412km from Darwin.
