The major town of the Katherine region, 320km south of Darwin on the Stuart Highway. Katherine is the service centre for a vast pastoral region and the gateway to Nitmiluk National Park. The town straddles the Katherine River and has experienced major flooding historically (1998). Katherine is the fourth-largest town in the NT and the commercial hub of the Katherine region. The town's atmosphere is genuinely outback — rough, warm, and unpretentious.

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.
