Cheap souvenirs, special souvenirs, friendly staff, can also buy coffee.

I didn’t expect to get a history lesson but the history told on the plates is truly amazing. The view is nice and not really disturbed by trees and there is plenty of parking and panic tables. No toilets but that’s ok.

We stayed at the Timber Creek Hotel Caravan Park for a night and decided to explore the area for a couple of hours; very glad we did - highly recommended. Don't miss the Nackeroo Lookout or Bradshaw Bridge. Also consider dawn and sunset visits to the lookout. Nackeroo Lookout is accessed via a one lane sealed road and offers several vantage points overlooking the township and Victoria River.

Has tables for picnics and all of it is accessible via vehicle. Only downside was the small roads but they weren't any danger, and the lack of shade. It got a little bit hot!

Spectacular views. 360° and every inch is just gorgeous. Its well worth the small drive up to the lookout.

My dad, Francis Henty Silvester (Henty) was a very proud Nackeroo. I am so proud of him!!

The history information on the plaques was interesting. The lookout view was not.

Nice views of Timber Creek and Victoria river

This place is great. I nearly couldn't be bothered but sooo glade I did. It is well worth the visit. we went during the peak time, it was busy but not too crowded. You can enter the top pool and go down stream to the bottom pool which is pretty cool. lots of ppl had pool noodles. The metal walk way can be hard on the feet if you aren't use to walking bare foot. The pop up Cafe near the car park wasn't open. There are toilets near the car park and once both the bottom there is toilet 150m away.

What a special place in a very 'rough' town to out it nicely. Definitely check it out and have a dip whilst at least passing through! Cute water fall, rocks to scooter over in the water and a little bridge to float under.... we were very surprised with how beautiful it was.

A lovely naturally heated pool. Thermal spring, pure water, no sulphur smell. Families and couples enjoy a variety of swimming holes along the stream. Crystal clear, pale aqua water. Very inviting and so refreshing. Beats anything I've experienced overseas. I would wear reef shoes next time as I have very sensitive feet. The bottom, in the shallows, is a mix of soft sand, stones (big and small) and acquatic plants. Most delightful of all, there is no admission charge.

Loved it here! Water was 27c really nice. The scenery is stunning, felt like I was in the amazon jungle. The pool is clear and clean and you can float the waterways all the way to the lower pool. Going back again tomorrow 😃

Totally loved this place! I drove in nice and early when it was still a little cooler. There is a large carpark with handy toilets. No dog’s allowed. The water isn’t hot, more like warm, but over time the temperature builds up in your body. The water is so clear, beautiful in fact! I felt very clean after my 30 mins in the water. It was also very quiet, in fact I had the first pool to myself for a while. Great! It was hot when I got back to my van, the Doggo agreed!

We visited in the late afternoon while staying just a few minutes’ walk away at Riverview Tourist Village. As dusk settled in, more insects and critters began to appear — next time, I’d aim for a midday visit for a more comfortable experience. Not long before we arrived, a snake was spotted near the water’s edge, which caused some people to leave the lower pools quickly. That made us a bit hesitant to swim there, so we stuck to the upper pools instead. These were lovely and refreshing, with cooler water likely due to the time of day. Like many NT swimming spots, the pools are mostly deep but have some shallower areas perfect for relaxing. Small streams connect the pools, making it a scenic swim — though watch out for orb-weaver spiders hanging low over the water. Despite the wildlife surprises, it’s a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings after a long day.

In town. Lovely park nearby for coffee and eats. We didn't go for a swim . Others told us it was great in the water

Very disappointed with the service I received. I explained to the staff that I have no means of transport and how I can get around Katherine. My option provided to me was to walk, catch a taxi (told very unreliable) and $10 shuttle service. Only after speaking to a local was told of the free public transport available to us. Disappointed that this wasn’t communicated to us as we had been walking to town 40min one way with two kids as a solo parent

One of the most welcoming visitor centres in Australia! The girls here Nicole & Chloe were amazing, between the two of them they answered all our questions, gave some great advice based off their own experiences across Nitmiluk and further north on our journey to Kakadu and Darwin. What a breath of fresh air they were, having people who knew what they were talking about! Made the world of difference. Well done ladies your incredible keep up the great work. 🤩🥰

We spent a lot of time over the course of 2 separate visits with Dionne planning our trip through Nitmiluk, Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks. Dionne was extremely helpful and had personal knowledge of many of the experiences. She went above and beyond and printed all our booking information park passes etc. The other staff also seemed to be very helpful. What a wonderful experience visiting the information centre and planning the next 2 weeks of our adventures in the NT. THANK YOU!!

Staff provided good information for planning our trip.

Well this visitor centre is what all visitor centres should be like. Friendly staff with lots of information and brochures from so many different states. We were very impressed.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff that helped us on multiple occasions. Their suggestions for trips have been great. Our last trip to Groote Eylandt was not on our radar but was an experience we will never forget.

Plenty of parking available and there are EV charging stations at the car park across the road.

This was/is a magnificent show and not to be missed if you are in or around Katherine. Tom Curtain has a relatable charm and takes you on a journey of horsemanship, animal training with noticeable skill and experience. His other presenters Ari and Jake bring their stories and skill to the presentation too. Oh, and then there is Tom's singing in which he has won accolades and Awards. Truly a couple of hours which deeply deserves your attention.

Outstanding Show by Tom and the team today Wed 9 July 2025! It was great to find out how they train the horses and the dogs. The horses were beautiful, the dogs especially Shep was so funny and entertaining, entertainment at its best! Thank you also for supplying the cold wet towels, water and ice lollies! We were on the waitlist and very lucky to be able to go today!

We did the Katherine Outback Experience as one of our tours on our Ghan trip. What a place. Absolutely outstanding show from Tom's singing welcoming everyone to the outback to the rest of the staff that not only did they're own presentations with the animals but also handed out cushions for the seating, cold water, cold towels and ice blocks. Absolutely sensational experience. A must do if your ever going to or through Katherine.

Wow! I really didn’t know what to expect with this experience but it does not disappoint! We were all so enthralled with Tom and his team. We found our Australian Yellowstone today and we absolutely loved every minute of the show, from how they break in horses, to the cheeky pups and Tom on the guitar. Everything customer service and comfort is thought about with cushioning for your seat, cool towels and cold refreshments. You left us dreaming of life in the outback and appreciating the work you all do!

Absolutely amazing! The people there were kind and entertaining, the animals were cheeky but (mostly) well behaved and there were adorable kelpie puppies! The owner (Tom) was very good at playing the guitar and riding horses. Wish all dogs were that well behaved! Definitely worth doing if you're anywhere near here and I KNOW you'll have an amazing time!

What a great afternoon! Fantastic display, plenty of animals to have your pictures with, and pet. Very interactive for the kids as well! Definitely recommend 👌

As a 50 yr old its hard to sit and listen and be amazed, intrigued and entertained for any amount of time lol Tom's calm storytelling lures u into the dream of what he has built and the story behind it while witnessing his horse riding skills and knowledge To sit and be amazed at ari and jake as they put horses and dogs tru there paces with such ease and professionalism at a young age was entertaining and educational and funny.my girls loved the animals especially the dogs and puppies .and it was great to see them laugh and be amazed as I was. His staff all had a story to share and were welcoming and professional.. Thanks so much for an awesome experience Tom and team Everybody passing tru kathrine should see this show .best of luck on the rd .might be back up one day for a puppy lol

Beautiful cave, not in the league of the caves we visited in WA but lovely nonetheless. Arrive 30 mins prior to the tour, they run on the hour between 9am & 4pm. Knowledgeable guides and the tour runs for approx 1hr. Bottled water is provided as well. The wait was only due to the tour starting at 10am Cave time was about 45-50 minutes. There is a short walk from the parking area/kiosk. Enclosed shoes are mandatory.

Was a hidden gem. Hadn't heard about them, so was pleasantly surprised. The guide was very knowledgeable about the formation of the caves, so enjoyed it a lot. Took the long way back along the 650m track, and that was enjoyable also. Tour takes about an hour and goes every 2 hours, so you'll save time by finding out the times they run before you get there. They give senior discounts.

Fantastic experience! Based our whole trip to Katherine on seeing these caves and it was well worth it. Loved the small walk to get to the cave. It was fascinating observing the flora surrounding the cave. Marvel at the fact that blind cave shrimp call this cave home and the species is only found in two places on earth - Cutta Cutta caves and Madagascar. The cave formations in this type of cave are different to other caves and that's what makes these caves so special. Do not be concerned about the comments of 'no cafe'. This is a National Park less than 30km from Katherine (where there are plenty of cafes). No need to spoil this beautiful place with another cafe. Pack a picnic and enjoy the natural surrounds!

This tour is highly worthwhile and the guide was very knowledgeable. There are about 20 steps down into the cave and two points in the cave that are a bit narrow but otherwise easy access. There are lots of information signs to read while you wait and a short nature walk you can take. There are toilet facilities and a decent amount of parking.

Great spot excellent tour guide

Make sure you check the website or call before going. Tours are on the hour and 3pm isn't always available for public.

Have never seen a dry cave so very different. Guide was very informative Easy access into the cave only a few stars to walk down. Don't dive pass, definitely worth a visit

Great museum and a lovely way to escape the heat and learn a little about the beautiful Katherine town and region.

Katherine museum would have to be the best museum I have been to, great exhibits, the cyclone Tracey information is very educational the kids really enjoyed and it’s free, that doesn’t happen very often!

Well worth an hour or so. WWII history is fascinating.

Lots of great information around this place.

A well appointed museum with a little of everything. Lots of well presented displays and information. And of course my favourite, old trucks and earth moving equipment. Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the museum

Katherine is hot as hell it's early September the museum has a few sheds of interesting history the main shed is air conditioning lots to read and view take your time it's actually a pretty good museum great stories of the war the pioneers the local legends the community the floods you will feel sad you will feel good to be an Aussie Katherine has amazing history fully worth the ten bucks admission have a look it's a look back in time kids would marvel at how the ol timers did things 4 stars ..

Pleasant staff great presentation and big variety of we’ll set out and presented exhibits well worth putting on your visiting list Throughly enjoyed

Came in the late dry season (September). Road still very accessible even for 2WD. Seems newy graded r kept in good nick. Campsite is great simple place to spend overnight en route to Katherine / Darwin. Gorge is beautiful and water still remains for swimming in further pool. Rock art site (women’s country) up on escarpment. Reminder to respect cultural law and not take photos or explore the restricted areas if a male.

This place was so nice and beautiful! Great little hike to the top of the hill for morning sunrise and sunset. The water holes at the gorge was easily enough to walk towards however for elderly people I do not recommend as it can be very accident prone, our group had a few slips and falls but can easily recover from. The swimming spots were okay but isn’t something worth going back a second time for compared to other places. The camp site felt small especially when it’s full, I feel like they could definitely expand it a lot more but that isn’t a discouragement. You can end up being close to another group, and we were quite loud so sorry to the campers near by. Drop toilet was not that bad thought it would stink a lot more but it was definitely usable. Overall would recommend you to go here if you have not been yet. Loved every experience from it. Would be 5 star if the camp grounds were bigger.

This is such a wonder of nature, amazing to look at this time the year the water a little merky but still very inviting, the 20 km drive in not too bad as end of wet - Easter Weekend April all crossings minimal water I hear they can hold a lot of water at times; the camping area not that big so would be advised to book ahead of time, especially in the Dry I'd say. But yes we'll worthy of a look. When you get started on walks just follow the banks along and keep going till you find a spot you want to stay.

Very nice but not incredible give the other swim holes around. Still had water in them thought. a good swim on a hot day for sure.

went in the wet season, super hot in the afternoon. camping site is far from the gorge. walk about 1km or more. water is cool but not much swimming area, just shallow. camp site has table, fire pit and compost toilet with toilet paper and tap from rainwater. fee is paid through honor system box, $4 per adult, $2 kids, $10 family. great views and nice visit overall

A fun little 22 km gravel road off the Stuart Highway, greats you with a rather unassuming and small camp ground. A further 1 km half-paved track and you're in a Dry season paradise.

It’s a amazing place, and good for beginner first time handle dirt road. The track was damage by the rain few weeks ago, few trees full down and hard to walk to the swimming spot.

Camp site right by river. Water is shallow and safe for kids. Temperature of water coming out of the ground is very, very hot. Lots of shady spots to sit/lay for hours - in the water and out. Lots of fire places. Lizards are friendly.

Very good...we had to walk 200 metres as the campground was closed. This meant it had no other people

One of my all time favourite places. Peaceful, beautiful and well maintained camping area.

Quiet good and well worth the trip. Water temp was just right in places.

Loved it. Great depth for kids to swim in and campsite was pretty quiet despite being absolutely full. Not too many young yahoos like you get at the ones closer to town. Just a tip save your dish washing water in a bucket to flush the toilet. Sometimes there's not enough water. Also take plenty drinking water as the water there is only able to be used for washing not drinking unless boiled.

Holy Cow...HOT HOT HOT Springs. Great place. Found an area that was nice and cool to enjoy a swim. Recommend going.👍

Great dry season camping. Can be very busy on popular long weekends. The Hot Springs are very relaxing. 7km of dirt road. 2.5hrs from Darwin. There are toilets and showers (take your own t paper).

Absolutely Beautiful and Worth the Visit! This place is stunning! From the car park to the waterfall, it’s not too far. There are two trail options – we took the longer one first (about 30 to 45 minutes), slightly uphill, but totally worth it. The walk itself was beautiful and enjoyable. When we arrived, we were rewarded with an incredible view. Taking a dip in the water was the highlight – so fresh and refreshing! We honestly didn’t want to leave. On the way back, we took the shorter trail, which made the overall experience even more satisfying. There’s also a café and clean toilets on site, which is a great bonus. Helpful Tips: You don’t need to bring much – leave extra clothes in the car. Just take water, a hat, and if you can’t swim, don’t forget a pool noodle. Highly recommended!

This was our second visit. We came last year on our trip around and enjoyed it so much we had to return. Raw natural beauty, wonderful walks with beautiful swimming holes the water temp is such that you could spend all day in the water.

Sensational place to stop on the way to or from Katherine...it's about 60kms from Katherine and we'll worth the detour. There's a Cafe and toilets there and the swimming hole is just 100m or so from the car park...don't forget the swimming noodles.

A must see place to visit when in the area. Not an overly long walk from the car park to one of two places to swim. While the hike is not long, it is rocky and has some incline so wear good shoes and keep hydrated. Upper pool will open sooner after the wet season but always check with the local campsite people to ensure the pools are safe to swim in Beautifully cool and clean water to swim in!

Lower waterhole closed at the moment - late June. Reasonable easy walk to the middle pool - elevated in places, not too rocky and in part sun, took us 30 mins. We didn’t see the signs for the top walk but I think upon studying the board upon return haha that once you cross the two little bridges across the middle pool it’s somewhere around there. Absolutely beautiful lookout and pools, this is definitely worth a visit! There are toilets at the beginning along with a small cafe that mostly sold drinks and Villis hot food which was mostly sold out by lunch. Recommend :-)

Loved this location - so beautiful in the dry. This was our second visit in two years. First time we swam across the bottom pool to the falls. This time we did the loop walk. Took advice to do it clockwise, but I’m not sure it makes much difference. Info available said a Grade 3 hike and one hour return, but it took us 2 and a half hours, including a 30 minute swim in the top pools. I took walking poles and would highly recommend these for anyone with a lower level of fitness/strength (like me). It was hard work but worth it. And finished with a swim at the lower pool. We did this as a day trip from Darwin. Good drive.

What an amazing place to visit! Worth the small diversion. A gentle walk from the carpark to the top (well sign posted). A beautiful and clean place to swim with gorgeous views. Even in the dry season, the water was flowing ✔️

It was an amazing place to visit. Definitely take the 2 hour river cruise. It was just beautiful with a stop at one of the gorges for a swim, so do take your swimsuit and have a dip.

Ideal place to go for a hike or if you’re into a relaxed scenic tour without the workout, they offer ferry and helicopter tours. Very peaceful place with beautiful scenery. Very educational too considering the history behind the formation of the Gorge - “The Dreaming”

Done the 2 gorge tour, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and excellent commentary as we went along. Short walk between the 2 gorges to connect with a 2nd boat was an easy walk, some rock areas to walk over but not difficult.

We came here for the 2 Gorge tour. Depending on the time of year you can do it in either 1 or 2 boats, ours was 2 boats. The guide is very knowledgeable about the area. I have to say we really enjoyed the trip. We picked the right time today ( 10am ) as there were around 12 people on the boat, they normally fit 60 people on. There are water stops on the way round with nice cold water and on the boat, if you are caught short, there is a toilet. You can do canoe adventure tours, helecopter tours and cultural tours. The tours can be booked at the information centre where there are also toilets. You can get a drink, cakes or a cooked meal.

We did the 2 gorge dawn cruise. Walk from one to the other along a path with a number of easy steps. Stunning views. Great narrative.

Unreal views. The tour guide we had was the best. Can't remember his name but his knowledge of the gorge and Aboriginal background made for a great experience.

If in Nitmiluk you must try a gorge tour. I wish I did the kayak as I was told it was up current first then come back, but there is very little current. Lovely scenery and felt professional and safe!

11km off the main road on a dirt road. It says 4WD only but we went there with no problem in a Toyota Kluger. Rock Formations that you can freely wander around and climb if your keen enough. Worth the trip if you have the time.

We enjoyed this visit. Quite amazing rock formations worth visiting if you have a 4 wheel drive.

Absolutely stunning amazing place, easy access in a 4x4

I loved it here. It reminded me a little of Angkor Wat, only this is totally natural. The rock formations were huge and the precariously balanced rocks at the top of the crevices were amazing to see. We spent a while walking around and found it to be a surprising detour on our day trip.

We unexpectedly came across this place when we were driving through the Litchfield tourist drive saying it was for 4x4 only. We had a 4x4, however it wasnt a challenging track at all, the worst part was the corrugated dirt roads. We saw a commodore make it to the rock with little trouble. Once we got there I thought it was well worth the effort! It was beautiful.

Definitely one of the highlights of visiting Litchfield! You definitely need a 4WD as the corrugated road quickly gives way to a narrow and fairly treacherous road for those not properly equipped. We were rewarded at the end with somewhere comparable only to a natural Angkor Wat. Loved taking our time meandering through the beautiful rock formations. If you have the means, definitely visit here!

Fascinating place. Worth a visit. Amazing rock formations. A bit of a rough road in, but nothing too onerous for a 4WD.

Pretty spot but very overgrown. Grass is taller than me. It’s difficult to get near the waters edge. There are tables and shelters son once they slash I’m sure it will be a great spot for lunch. There are toilets here.

Serene picnic spot off the main road. Pretty lake and surroundings, lots of bird life. Picnic tables and shade, but no toilet facilities. Recommend a 4wd as the road to the picnic area is a bit rough (unsealed) - it is off the road to Umbrawarra Gorge. Will definitely be back. 🧺

Nothing worth seeing grass overgrown lots of rubbish can not seat on the tables

It was over grown, long grass.no One to complain about my generator...😁

Definitely not worth visiting.

Beautiful Scenary

This is no longer maintained. The roadsigns are also all removed, very rundown park not worth visiting. Tall weed blocks all the water views. Shame it was a better park.

What a restored beauty to bring tourism into a small town . Pull in and enjoy the NT history and grab a cool drink and lunch nearby at Lazy Lizard

Great little stop off with interesting history - free

A historical location In the centre of town. No ticket required but everything is locked up. This used to be the actual Pine Creek Railway Station an Post Office. The Engine was used in the Australian movie We of the never never. Sufficient car parking with toilets in the park next door.

Nice to see something still exist til this day. Everything still original just have good feeling about it! Worth to see

You can see the Classical Train and station. Walk along the ~50m old rail.

Have to love the history of the North Australia Railway, and The Commonwealth Railway, and the struggle it must have been building such a railway in the climate and conditions they endured, particularly when it was N.A.R. It is brilliant stuff, to say the least, that someone is taking the effort to preserve that history. Well done. Keep up the good work. Five Stars.

Interesting place museums where closed disappointing

Gorgeous spot for a cool off on a hot day. The main pool is deep enough to jump into from the edge. Water is so refreshing and clear. As a mature woman with not so flexible knees these days, I did find it difficult to enter and exit the pools without assistance. There are no rails to hold onto, and I doubt it would be a worthwhile exercise installing rails to enter and exit the pools. It's an easy walk from the carpark to the pools. Just be mindful that it's a rocky walk. Not accessible for wheelchairs.

Buley Rockhole offers a quiet, calming contrast to the nearby Florence Falls — perfect for a more relaxed dip either before or after visiting the main plunge pool. It’s conveniently located on the same route, making it a great stopover. The stream gently flows downhill, forming a series of cascading rock pools connected like natural steps. You can relax in any of them, though the lower pools tend to be more popular. The water is deep in parts, which makes it ideal for floating with a pool noodle or even jumping in from the rock ledges. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind, soak in the beauty of nature, and enjoy the cool, clear waters in a more low-key setting. A wonderful stop in Litchfield that feels both refreshing and serene.

One of my favourite spots on our 12000km trip. Beautiful swimming holes. Don’t expect privacy if a tour group arrives or personal space. It disappoints me the way groups can take over a space with little regard to others. A reminder too that it is a NO SMOKING area. It is a magical spot and a must do! Super easy walk from carpark.

What an amazing spot!! I came here in the afternoon on a weekday and it was fairly quiet, only a couple other people around so was able to have a pool to ourselves!! Definitely recommend visiting, NT keeps surprising me over and over again

My favorite swimming spot. Perfect water temperature with plenty of different pools to enjoy. No complaints here!

Stunning cascading waterfalls, small and inviting for all ages groups. Shallow and deep water holes. Clean well maintained walk to waters edge

This place is a gorgeous little waterhole and has a series of small waterfalls that you can lounge in. The rocks are smooth due to the amount of water that flows through, but this also makes them very slippery! Be careful! The carpark is a decent size, there are toilets and change rooms and there are covered tables and chairs. The Ranger was present and blowing down the seating area - good to see someone patrolling and maintaining the area. There are camp grounds, but you do need to book online to stay the night and I think you may need a permit to access the park, please check the NT Parks and Wildlife site to double check and see pricing. It's been a few years since I was last here, but we are already planning our next day trip!

A stunning spot for a swim and easily one of my favourite attractions in Litchfield National Park. There are two access options: a steep staircase of around 130 steps or a longer, stair-free path that’s more accessible. We visited around midday on a Tuesday — it was fairly busy, but still plenty of space to enjoy the water. The twin waterfalls aren’t immediately visible from the viewing area, but once you’re in the pool, they reveal themselves beautifully. The swim to the falls is short and manageable — unlike Wangi or Edith Falls, which require a longer swim. I’d highly recommend bringing a pool noodle (a Territory essential!) as the water is deep and it makes floating much more relaxing. Sitting beneath the falls with water cascading over you was incredibly refreshing. For the adventurous, there are rock ledges nearby to climb and jump from. There’s also a calm, shallow creek off to the side for a more laid-back experience. Perfect for all swimming levels — an absolute must-visit.

It is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favourite experiences in the NT. The car park gets very full in peak periods so be aware. Bring bathers as you don't want to miss swimming here - it's truly a magnificent experience. You can walk the 135 stairs down to the plunge pool or take the 1.1km track (easy walk - about 15 mins) through the bush/rainforest to get there - they both end up at the same place. Toilets and change rooms are near the carpark. Bring food & water. It's very rocky so some mobility required.

Amazing waterfalls where you can swim during the dry season (once marked safe to do so). Lots of little rock pools to just dip your feet in if you aren't keen for a swim. Absolutely beautiful location although it can get busy in peak periods. You can swim right behind one of the waterfalls in one area which is an amazing experience. Just note you do need to swim against the flow of water to get to the actual waterfall itself which can be more tiring than expected.

This is my #1 spot I’ve been to in NT!! Pictures don’t do it justice but it is the most beautiful place ever. It was pretty quiet when I went, only a few other people swimming. A few little fish around and easy to paddle or sit on rocks and still be submerged. Do not skip this if you’re visiting Litchfield

Natural wonder accessible for all. Where you can swim under the waterfall? The nature around is preserved. Expect a lot of tourists.

It's the best place if u love to swim and spend time in nature the scenery is mind blowing 😜 and beautiful 🤩.

Great swimming hole with cliff jumping and off the top of the waterfall if you are game!! (I was not game enough but mates were). Bit of a drive out there so pack yourself some lunch etc and make a day of it.

Nice little museum.

Great little museum to show the kids some history

Some interesting local history, worth a visit

Got out there. To a closed sign, asked at the servo, told its been closed for some time

Interesting experience in my life

A great location, make sure to bring cash for a donation! The North Australian Railway held the top end together for many decades and this is a great way to learn of its history.

This is not for the accommodation but the 'farm' element. The main attraction is hutches of rabbits that you can feed. There were around 6-10 butterflies when we went in April. There is a croc you can see also and that is about it. Good experience for kids who can feed the rabbits but at $20 per adult it is too steep really.

Visited the butterfly house with my children. They enjoyed feeding carrots to the bunnies and farm animals. Animals look generally healthy and well cared for. Butterflies were lovely but some of the other creatures definately steal the limelight....probably the closest you will ever get to a big live croc! The owner is an absolute legend. A one of a kind top end experience.

I drove from Litchfield NP into Batchelor with the kids to take them to the butterfly farm and animal park for a change of scenery. We turned up and thought we'd have lunch there too. Entry fee was $20per adult and $10per child with use of the pool. (The pool looked like it needed a refresh and a change of water- not very appealing) We walked up to the reception/bar where there was a sign saying to ring the bell if unattended, and a man working on a fuse box in the corner of the dining room. We rang the bell. The man didn't even look up. We waited another 5mins, also noticing a dog laying in the kitchen as we could see straight through, and rang again. Again, nobody responded and the man simply walked straight past us without even a greeting towards us and walked into the office. As we decided not to stay, a lady walked out behind us, not a word to be said to us and proceeded into another building. Needless to say, we did not stay to experience any more 'customer service'.

Staff very welcoming. Our room was good for the price. Only issue we had in family room was that there was no hot water in the morning.

Unique and amazing. Friendly service and the most amazing curries! Delicious food worth stopping for.

Farm visit very underwhelming. Not worth $20/adult. The place is quirky for sure and the staff / owner were kind and delightful. Clearly love their home and space. We thought we were coming to see some butterfly and didn't realise the farm animals were part of the deal. Their enclosures were fine, not very manicured and seemed to be alot of dusty mud in a very tropical environment. Stop in for a drink at the bar and a chat with the locals but keep on going after that.

**this is not a review of the accommodation- simply the "butterfly farm" I really wanted to like this place and wasn't going to leave a review, however we visited this place last week in the dry season and also saw maybe 2 butterflies, and I'd noticed in other responses the owner has put the lack of butterflies down to being wet season however it is now dry season and seems to be the same issue. If there's no butterflies thats fine, but it shouldn't be advertised as a butterfly farm- I grew up on a farm and if I wanted to see goats, pigs and rabbits I would have stayed at home- we did the 2 hour round trip souly to see butterflies so it was disappointing. It also had a very un maintained, dirty dusty feel about the entry/eating area... I hadn't eaten all day and was planning to eat after we had finished our walk around, but it just didnt seem clean at all to me so we didn't eat- again I get the "it's darwin" vibe, but just because its Darwin doesnt mean it cant be clean. We also felt slighty uncomfortable/ surprised when we were greated with the older man behind the counter with no shirt on, and then bumped in to him wandering around in nothing but a towel. I get the laid back Darwin vibe, but it's a business and it seems highly inappropriate, especially as we were there with a family with young girls. Honestly the whole place gave me Tiger King vibes and it did make me slightly uncomfortable all round, I will however give the benefit of the doubt and visit again in a few weeks with visiting family and hopefully there are more butterflies and old mate finds his shirt...

Lovely volunteer hosts during dry season. I hour movie on bombing of Darwin very insightful in how we were left to fend for ourselves by USA and UK... We should not forget that especially ATM with world affairs.

Locals like Jan and Sue have gone to amazing effort to get this Museum up and running. They came in especially to open up for us in the off season, we were visiting from NZ and it was well worth the effort, highly recommended if you are interested in WW2 and or the history of mining in the area.

Excellent information on Batchelor history. Open week days 10 to 1pm.

I went with my partner on a Saturday and, forgive me if I get this wrong, Gaye was working. What a delightful human being. Really brought the experience to life and was very generous with knowledge, helped us with the rain by bringing us an umbrella. Great display, very informative, even to a local Darwin man. Recommended for a lazy weekend trip, batchelor is a lovely town.

Many Thanks great insight to Darwin's bombings great C.D Lovely caretakers Made to feel so welcome Well worth a look xx

Great collection of photos of the history of Batchelor. Definitely worth having a look only cost 5.00.

Very interesting. Lots of information about early days, mining, wartime history.

At first it felt very underwhelming but then the upclose wallaby experience made up for it as well as the aviary with beautiful birds. Saw one lazy sleepy dingo. They could get a few more, after all Australia is there home!!

Absolutely love territory wildlife park but prepare for a hot sweaty day and quite a bit of walking there is a "train" that stops every 30 minutes at the station by each exhibit. The birds are always my favourite and the morning bird show is a must see!!!! All of the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Great park with lots of native animals in natural settings. Loved the bird show and aquarium. Big place, so riding bike or taking the free bus makes it easy. Perfect for families and anyone wanting a real Top End wildlife experience!

Very large park with many outdoor trails to walk. Overall more like a nature park than a wildlife park. We enjoyed the nocturnal area and wooloo sandbar stingrays, but didnt see many animals elsewhere. Very warm with little rest areas, 7km walk with no shelter

The best nature park in Darwin I've ever been to. Very family friendly environment, great staff. Had an awesome experience. Will be back soon

I love bringing my family here, there is easily enough here to keep you busy for a full weekend. You can choose to get plenty of exercise walking the tracks between exhibits, or you can catch the iconic turtle train. I HIGHLY recommend you don't miss the bird show on the flight deck, I have been to wildlife parks all around Australia and have not seen anything else that comes close.

I had an amazing experience at the Territory Wildlife Park. The park is beautifully set out and full of fascinating wildlife. Declan in the nocturnal house was absolutely fantastic his knowledge and passion really brought everything to life, and it was such a pleasure meeting him. Kyle, who presented the bird show, was equally impressive. The show was second to none entertaining, informative, and simply brilliant from start to finish. Both Declan and Kyle made the visit truly memorable.

Their mango smoothies were really good, we went back twice for it. Main courses didn't have much variety but they tasted good. Would recommend for their mango smoothie s.

Really nice place to grab a snack on the way to Berry Springs. The food and the local products sold here are really tasty and refreshing. The mango cheesecake was just beautiful!

Nice stopover for a full meal if touring along the Berry Springs area. All about mangoes! Menu items have mango slush which is great in this hot weather. Refreshing!

a short drive from berry springs and a great place for a frozen mango slurpee. Had the pulled pork role that was tasty. They also sell local honey

Great smoothies and the best scones with home made mango jam which is delicious. Friendly people and a good range of food, drinks and products to purchase and some great places to sit in the shade to enjoy. So good we went back twice.

Fresh, tasty and everyone in the family was impressed with their food, including our daughter who had been hanging out for a toasted ham and cheese for days! Service was friendly and efficient. Dried mango and the mango ice-cream were amazing.

Came here 2 years ago, wonderful mango smoothie and other mango-featured food including chicken mango toasted sandwich. Lovely, shady and cool outdoor area for dining. Great service. Large selection of products to take home such as mango chutney, dried mango and mango jam. I have been enjoying their mango icecream this time visiting the top end.

Very ordinary. Service extremely perfunctory, I had the impression that neither of the two servers really wanted to be there. Food was very average. I just had the bangers and mash, if you are going to sell something so simple get decent sausages! It’s not hard to get decent products.

Good place with great people and service and really big meals 10/10

Finally! Friendly service like it use to be. Popped into the pub around midday Saturday for a drink with a friend who was celebrating their birthday and we had exceptionally friendly service by the lady behind the bar. Thanks for your hospitality Humpty Doo, it’s nice to see there is still good service to be found in hospitality!

If you are in Darwin you must! Beautiful food and well portioned meals. You will not leave here feeling hungry. 😁 Very well priced. Good atmosphere. Great service.

Stopped by for a bit of lunch and left beyond satisfied. The lamb shank I ordered was absolute perfection! If anyone is looking for the best pub for food... THIS is definitely the place to be!

All our dishes were excellent.

No dogs allowed on the premises which, inexplicably, includes the beer garden. So many people travelling with dogs these days that’s imo about 20% of their potential market not welcome. Just stupid!!

This place is fantastic, so informative with spectacular views. Outraged to hear the NT govt. are going to close this place according to the news! Hope that doesn't happen as I recommend it as a place all Australians and visitors should visit... a must stop on your way to a croc cruise along the Adelaide River.

I'm sure that there are different/better views from the top if you were able to get up into the actual lookout, but the place is closed more than it's open. The signage on the building and everything there indicates they should have been open 10-3pm. A local said he's been there are a few times and it's never been open, yet other recent reviews indicate it's sometimes open... your milage may vary. The views from the lower deck/board walk area were cool and this time of year there is still lots of water and greenery. Entry, when open, is by contribution. Signage says you can either make a donation, or make a purchase at the Cafe or Gift Shop. Probably not a place to drive just to visit, but drop by and see if they are open if you do one of the local croc jumping experiences.

It's worth a visit. Under new management and they are moving forward. Gold coin donation to enter to cheap.

The view over the wetlands is far and wide that stretches across sacred land. Loved the stop and the chance to freshen up on some local knowledge. Graham is extremely talented with his art offerings in store, will be back to experience the wet season and this view!

Its free.... the iced coffees n iced chocolates are the best n under $5. Take your time... explore downstairs well ... then go up for the views n a icey bev or snack. Talk to the rangers there.... I make 2 recommendations. 1. If someone has walking issues its a long walk from carpark or sure seems it n all uphill. Drop them off n join them after parking is better as there is only 1 disabled parking spot at the top. 2. Get there early where you can. It can get busy at times. I forget the times now but the talks they give are supposed to be good. So i am going back tomorrow for the viewing platform talk. Gosh I learnt a lot. Some of the displays are interactive.. puzzle style.

Beautiful location, and if you go up the viewing platform it has a wonderful view.

Nothing much to do there in the dry season... although they have good displays and explanation of the local environment and good views from a large viewing gallery.

Lovely quiet spot. Great place for picnics! Has play equipment, fish feeding, water feature for kids, flying fox. There is also enough space that you can avoid people and enjoy some quiet time in nature reading a book. Tranquil, but fun. Good hiking trails and a spring.. It could do with a bit more love, I think. It would be great to see some swimming back at Howard Springs. Fish feeding pond looks pretty murky & heavy on algae, needs more fish to eat it? Birds were also very cute. It's definitely worth the short 20-minute drive. Lovely spot, would recommend for a visit. Take a picnic lunch.

Nice spot for the kids. A small playground, some rock pools to splash in the spring with fish and turtles to see. An easy bush walk, picnic area all makes for a pleasant day out.

What a beautiful peaceful place to just sit and enjoy! The walking track was beautiful and easy to navigate! But as the sign says before entering.....wear comfortable footwear, take water with you and wear a hat, use sunscreen and insect repellent!

This nature park is awesome! Swimming areas (man-made) for kids, fantastic playground & flying fox. Well maintained facilities. Clean bbqs with seated areas but also lush grass to sit on with a home made picnic. Viewing platforms to see the fish in the barra stocked lakes/pond. Tranquil walks. I highly rate this place. Only visited briefly but definitely plan on going back for a family day bbq & swim.

Gorgeous place to visit for nature walks and to enjoy the tranquilty. Terrific pools, play equipment and waterfall for little kids and I found the military history interesting too.

Howard Springs Nature Park is a great place to enjoy wildlife including turtles, barramundi, file snakes and freshwater fish species. You can cool off in a shallow series of man-made rock pools, let the kids enjoy the adventure playground and relax with a quiet picnic or barbeque. You can't swim in the spring-fed waterhole.

19.10.2025 - Make sure you take the mozzie spray! They almost picked me up and carried me away! It was the only downside of the place, i think they may need to fog the area! Take the first turn right when you get past the gates, it's not sign posted very well, but this will take you to the main carpark area. It is gorgeous out here! There are toilets, BBQs, seating, a nice shallow pool to sit down and cool off in & there's a play area for the kids to wear themselves out on.

Really cool place, very lush wetlands and monsoon forest. Lots of bird life,and insects. Loved it here- had a lovely walk through the monsoon forest. The kids found it creepy as they were worried about crocodiles. Highly recommend if you are heading out that way.

It was a good place to drive to for sight seeing. We were lucky enough to see a croc on the side of the road. Lots of bird life and a viewing platform at the end to sit and watch.

📌 Fogg Dam 🌿✨ Exploring Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve – Darwin’s Hidden Gem ✨🌿 A peaceful day out with my husband at Fogg Dam, surrounded by endless fields of lilies 🌸, flocks of birds filling the sky 🦅, and a lookout view that takes your breath away 🌅. Once upon a time, this place was rice fields 🍚 – now it’s a haven for healing, walking, and soaking in nature’s calm. Signs warned us about crocs 🐊 (luckily none said hello 😂), but the serenity more than made up for it. Truly the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and just enjoy the beauty of the Territory. 💚

Less than one hour from Darwin, Fogg Dam Conservation Area, should be on your list of things to experience, while in the Top End. A drive over the dam wall, gives you a front row seat to diverse bird life and maybe a freshwater croc. The sea of lotus lilies is a sight to behold. Which can be seen from the dam wall. But you can immerse in it on the 2.2km water lily walk. Please note: we didn’t see saltwater crocs but they do live there, and you should be crocwise.

Great place for birding early wet season and early dry season…recently Fogg Dam has not disappointed…..

Fogg Dam is well worth the 1hr drive from Darwin. We did see our first Croc in the wild down the end off the viewing platforms. Beautiful scenery along the Dam wall drive too.

Incredible concentration of a huge number of different birds. The forest walk is fantastic, very beautiful, couldn't help walking quietly just to capture all the sounds. A special place to visit, and so close to Darwin
