Fantabulous experience at Katherine gorge
Nitmiluk National Park的点评
点评：It was a discovery of the canyons created along the route taken by the Katherine River over the centuries. The boat tour to appreciate the gorge was an excellent experience as this metal bodied flat bottom boat was able to cruise almost silently like it was gliding on still water. Water appeared to be somewhat greenish tinted and rather stagnant than flowing. Operator of the boat gave a running commentary and showed many freshwater crocodiles who have come out perhaps for sun bathing. The specimens we saw were small to medium even though we were told that they could be a decade or more by age. We passed a few beautiful beaches where the sand has settled beautifully sloping towards the river. We were told that these are common egg laying areas of the Crocodiles. While they were predators, they too became probable victims to other predators and even to cannibalistic bigger Crocodiles while they were small.
Due to the dry weather the river has become segmented with each segment formed like a lake, each having a topographical difference but inter connected with a very small over flow to the next. With this phenomenon the first cruise ended at one point and we walked on rocky banks to the next level to board another boat. At this point we were delighted to see many of the aboriginal rock art on a cliffside which were supposed to be several thousand years old. There were hand prints, human and animal figures all in reddish colour. It was interesting to learn how the pre-historic dwellers mixed colours obtaining colours from plant material, crushed rock minerals and then mixing them with clay to use that to paint. Higher the images older they were!
It was a very interesting experience to see the rugged Katherine Gorge with various curious rock formations, deep narrow crevices, caves and deep rock holes. We learnt a lot from the young skipper.

翻译：这是对凯瑟琳河几个世纪以来沿途形成的峡谷的发现。乘船游览峡谷是一次绝佳的体验，因为这艘金属船身的平底船几乎可以无声地航行，就像在静水上滑行一样。水看起来有点绿色，而且是静止的而不是流动的。船的操作员进行了现场解说，并展示了许多可能出来晒太阳的淡水鳄鱼。我们看到的标本从小到中等大小，尽管我们被告知它们的年龄可能有十岁或更久。我们经过了几处美丽的海滩，那里的沙子沉积得非常漂亮，向河边倾斜。我们被告知这些是鳄鱼常见的产卵区。虽然它们是捕食者，但它们也可能成为其他捕食者的牺牲品，甚至在它们还小的时候会成为同类相食的大型鳄鱼的牺牲品。
由于天气干燥，河流被分割成几部分，每部分都像湖泊一样，每个部分都有地形差异，但彼此之间有非常小的溢流。由于这种现象，第一次巡游在某个地方结束，我们沿着岩石河岸走到下一层，登上另一艘船。这时，我们很高兴看到悬崖边上有许多土著岩画，据说有几千年的历史了。那里有手印、人类和动物形象，都是红色的。了解史前居民如何混合颜色很有趣，他们从植物材料、粉碎的岩石矿物中获得颜色，然后将它们与粘土混合用于绘画。图像越高，它们就越古老！
看到崎岖的凯瑟琳峡谷，看到各种奇特的岩层、深而窄的裂缝、洞穴和深岩洞，这是一次非常有趣的经历。我们从年轻的船长那里学到了很多东西。
