点评:Nitmiluk Gorge, (also known as Katherine Gorge) is a stunning 13 gorge system that meanders around the Katherine River in Nitmiluk National Park. It is well known for its walks, canoeing, swimming, boat trips and Aboriginal rock art.
Firstly you need a pass to enter the National park, but confusingly it is a separate NT parks pass to the one needed to enter Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Parks, as these are managed by Parks Australia under the Australian Government and you can only get the Nitmiluk National Park pass on line from the Parks Australia website and not from the Gorge visitor centre which can be found 30km east of Katherine and is well sign posted from the sealed Gorge Road.
If you intend to swim or canoe then it is imperative to check the specific Nitmiluk Gorge web site as access to and whether it is currently allowed can change with the weather and the season,
One way to view the gorge is by a boat trip along it, which is truly stunning but obviously the most expensive option, but it is probably the best way, especially as there are no lookout points that you can drive to that give you a panoramic view of the gorges.
翻译:尼特米卢克峡谷(又称凯瑟琳峡谷)由13道峡谷组成,蜿蜒于尼特米卢克国家公园内的凯瑟琳河畔,景色壮丽。这里以步道、独木舟、游泳、乘船游览和原住民岩画而闻名。
首先,您需要一张通行证才能进入国家公园。但令人困惑的是,这张通行证与进入卡卡杜国家公园和乌鲁鲁-卡塔丘塔国家公园所需的通行证是分开的。因为这两个国家公园由澳大利亚政府下属的澳大利亚公园管理局管理,您只能从澳大利亚公园管理局的网站在线获取尼特米卢克国家公园通行证,而无法从峡谷游客中心获取。游客中心位于凯瑟琳以东30公里处,沿着密封的峡谷公路可以看到清晰的路标。
如果您打算游泳或划独木舟,请务必查看尼特米鲁克峡谷的具体网站,因为是否允许进入以及目前是否允许进入可能会随天气和季节而变化。
观赏峡谷的一种方式是乘船游览,这确实令人叹为观止,但显然是最昂贵的选择,但它可能是最好的方式,尤其是因为没有可以驾车前往的观景点可以欣赏峡谷的全景。
