The 700km drive from Katherine to Kununurra (WA) along the Victoria Highway — one of Australia's great outback road trips. The route passes through Victoria River country, Gregory National Park, and Keep River National Park. Boab trees appear from approximately 100km west of Katherine. The Victoria Highway drive is one of the most scenically diverse road journeys in northern Australia, transitioning through multiple distinct landscape types.
