With Katherine Gorge, Cutta Cutta Caves, Mataranka and the aboriginal experience at Manyalalluk all easy distances it makes Katherine a great holiday hub to spend a few days.There is excellent fishing in the rivers in the Top End but you must be wary of the salt-water or estuarine crocodiles. These crocodiles can grow in excess of five meters and weigh around a tonne so they have the potential to be dangerous. The fishing is good for barramundi in the rivers and estuaries. There are many fishing tour operators to choose from, they are very experienced and must be licensed to take out visitors.
