Nature's Way
Nature’s Way is a scenic tourism drive through Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks. For photographic, wildlife and birdwatching enthusiasts, this is a dream drive on a fully sealed road suitable for a two-wheel-drive vehicle. You can camp or spend the night at the various hotels along the route.
The 457 kilometre drive begins in Darwin and follows the Arnhem Highway through the Adelaide and Mary River wetlands to World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. It then follows the Kakadu Highway before intersecting the Stuart Highway down to Katherine and Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge).
Kakadu is home to some of the world's oldest Aboriginal rock art galleries. It can be explored by car or on hundreds of kilometres of marked walking trails. Travellers can cruise the palm-fringed Yellow Water Billabong or the East Alligator River to see birds, animals and huge crocodiles.
Further south is Katherine, the gateway to Nitmiluk National Park. Swim in the spring-fed crystal clear pool of the Katherine Hot Springs and tour the 500 million year old Cutta Cutta Caves, a 10 minute drive from town.
At Nitmiluk National Park, 30 kilometres east of Katherine, you can take a scenic flight, board a cruise or canoe down the gorge to enjoy its immense rocky walls and spot birds, crocodiles and other native flora and fauna. On your return to Darwin stop off for a swim at Leliyn / Edith Falls. Discover the wildlife on a scenic walk at Butterfly Gorge Nature Park, north of the historic gold mining town of Pine Creek, before cooling off in the paperbark-lined rock pools. From here it’s a 214 kilometre drive north to Darwin.
