Day Five – Day Trip To Katherine Gorge And Edith Falls

1 July 2019

Another early start today. We got picked up at 6:15am for a full day tour to Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls. First stop was Edith Falls (Leliyn in Jawoyn). It was a refreshing swim.  Edith Falls is a freshwater pool. It is beautiful swimming spot. We had lunch after that and followed by a 2-hour cruise along Katherine Gorge.  We visited 2 Gorges which involved changing boats because of the water level. Katherine Gorge was truly awesome. The entire area is in the Nitmiluk Reserve and the traditional owners are the Jawoyn people.  They were given title to the land in 1989 after a 10 year period of traditional owners having to prove that they had continuous connection with the land.
