The Katherine Region is roughly the size of France and double the size of Victoria. Most of the region’s attractions are not within walking distance of the town centre, and are only accessible by car or with an organised tour.
There are rental car companies operating within Katherine, however, and you can visit the Katherine Visitor Information Centre (on the corner of Lindsay Street and Katherine Terrace) to book a spot on an organised tour.
Katherine is considered part of the Top End, even though it is further inland than other towns associated with the region. It is prone to flooding from October to April (the wet season), while the weather is cooler and dryer from May to September (the dry season), leading to an increase in tourist numbers. Not all attractions are open all year ‘round, so be sure to check in advance of your trip that what you want to see will be accessible.
