Knotts Crossing Resort

Sticking fairly close by, the Katherine river is two minutes’ stroll from the site. Further out is the Katherine Low Level Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive) for a paddle, fishing or barbecue, or the 13 spectacular gorges at Katherine Gorge (20 minutes). If it’s history you’re interested in, visit Katherine’s oldest original homestead, Springvale Homestead (15 minutes), or The Katherine Museum (15 minutes’ walk) to learn about the Katherine region. Elsewhere, Top Didj Cultural Experience & Art Gallery (five minutes’ drive) runs a cultural experience led by aboriginal artists. Another excellent experience is the seasonal Marksie's Stockman's Camp Tucker Night (five minutes)… join in with the Aussie humour and tuck into your dinner in the outback. Experiences down south are just as splendid. As well as boat cruises, canoeing, light plane and helicopter flights or trekking, Mataranka (an hour and 10 minutes) is known for Elsey National Park (an hour and 20 minutes), Bitter Springs (an hour and 10 minutes), botanic walks, termite mounds and The Never Never Museum (an hour and 10 minutes).
