Katherine is a town in Northern Territory, Australia situated on the Katherine River. Beginning as an outpost established with the Australian Overland Telegraph Line on the North-South transport route between Darwin and Adelaide, Katherine has grown with the development of transport and local industries including mining – particularly gold mining; a strategic military function with RAAF Base Tindal; also as a tourism gateway to the attractions of nearby Nitmiluk National Park, particularly Katherine Gorge and its many ancient rock paintings. The region is known to experience heavy flooding during "the wet season".

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect, even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.

What a great website you have! Your tech people are amazing. Before we went on our trip I recommended the site to several people for it’s ease of use. Now that we have actually done the traveling that we booked through your site, I can even more highly recommend the site. The travel was perfect and easy. We were mostly satisfied with the hotels and price was much less than we would have paid separately.
