Stopped here for lunch in the park. Interesting history of the railway which used to run down here. Info boards and old restored engines made this a curiously memorable stop. The tree teeming with bats probably helped too.
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

Most people drive straight past but this is a great location for a swim. Its a 22km drive off the highway. Once there you will need to walk approx 500m on the concrete walkway followed by some walking over/through rocks to reach the swimming spots. You need a vehicle with high clearances to get through some of the crossings. Worth the deviation and should be followed by a visit to historical Pine Creek.
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.

Tables and toilets. No camping to protect the water suppliing Pine creek. Out of the way but a good spot to relax and take in the scenery.
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.
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.
