The Never Never Region

This area of the Northern Territory extends from the southern boundaries of Kakadu and Arnhem Land south to the start of the Barkly Tableland.

There are no major tourist attractions to speak of, apart from the Katherine area, that are serviced and promoted by the local tourist authorities. 

The area has a long history as a cattle raising area and in days long gone, some cattle properties were larger than some European countries.

Places of Interest

Pine Creek - originated as a gold rush town in the 1870's and a few of the old buildings remain. A recent return to gold mining in the area. Visit the Mine Lookout, Miners Park and National Park Museum.

Katherine - the junction of the Stuart Highway and the Victoria Highway which heads west into Western Australia. The School of The Air gives an insight into teaching kids in the Northern Territory outback.

Several tours are available from here including the Cutta Cutta Caves and their bat colonies, the recommended Katherine Gorge (see below) and an Aboriginal corroboree at Springvale Homestead.
