The most beautiful gorge on our tour was the Katherine Gorge. Our guide gave us lots of information about the native plants and wildlife that we saw. We ate at a restaurant that served crocodile tail and kangaroo steak. The steak tasted very tough, not at all like a cow steak. I learned that a gorge is a deep, narrow passage with steep rocky sides.
Some people also call a gorge a ravine.
The gorges that we saw were very beautiful and had high, sharp cliffs on either side of the passage. That night we stayed at the Paraway Hotel in a room that overlooked the swimming pool. We saw some examples of Wandjina rock art when we were cruising the Chamberlain Gorge in the early morning. We stopped for lunch on our own, and decided to take a helicopter ride around the gorge. In the afternoon, we decided to take a hike to the Zebedee Springs where there are natural thermal pools, where you can relax and put your feet in the water.
