Today we went off to The school of the Air in Katherine - well this was fantastic and so interesting, you actually get to see a teacher give the kids a lesson and hear and see some of these kids. Katherine school of the air has been broadcasting for 35 years and covers an area over 800,000sq klms.(Which is 3 times the size of the Uk). We loved it and it is well worth a visit.
Next onto Nitmiluk Visitor Centre and Nitmiluk Gorge for our 4 hour boat cruise. We did the first 3 gorges.
Nitmiluk is made up of 13 gorges and a maze of waterways sculptured from landscape by Katherine River. Jawoyn tradition says that the gorge was formed by Bolung ( The rainbow serpent). This was a stunning and restful cruise, with lots of wildlife and lots of fresh water croc's. Of course we got to have a swim just below some rapids.
Unfortunately the pictures do not show the vastness of these gorges, they stand up to 90 meters high and the cruise took us 4 hours. This cruise is a must for anyone visiting this area. It was spectacular!!!!
