Arnhem Land
from Katherine to Arnhem Land
At the northern tip of Kakadu National Park, right next to it, lies Arnhem Land. This vast area is (once again) owned and governed by the original inhabitants of this land.
from Katherine to Arnhem Land
After shopping in Katherine, if all goes well, I'll be on my way to Nhunlunbuy, a small town in the northeastern corner of Arnhem Land that I discovered through Trip in a Van, the website of an Australian family who has been traveling around Australia for over three years and are creating an ongoing report. Many of the places I want to visit this time are featured in videos they regularly post. Nhulunbuy in Arnhem Land is one of them, and I can hardly wait.
After Arnhem Land I have to go almost all the way back to Katherine because there is no shortcut to Limmen National Park
where I want to go next. The advantage of this is that on the way there I pass the Daly Waters Pub
come, a legendary pub in the town of the same name where only 23 people live.
Back from Limmen National Park, I want to take the Buchanan Highway via Top Springs and the Victoria River to Timber Creek. From Timber Creek, I can simply take the Victoria Highway back to Kununurra in WA and then on to the Gibb River Road.
