Katherine history and heritage - Australia

Step back in time to see the way life was once lived in the Northern Territory's Outback. Katherine, in Australia's north, has a rich pioneering and cultural history that can still be experienced today. Learn about Australia's first flying doctor, and how the town was originally named, at the Katherine Museum, and discover the lives of the early settlers at the old Springvale Homestead. Perhaps the best way to learn about local Aboriginal history is on a cultural cruise through the famous Katherine Gorge. Located in Nitmiluk National Park, it's an ideal way to mix culture, nature, relaxation and adventure. Visitors can also canoe the Katherine River, see Aboriginal rock art or hike the challenging Jatbula trail.
