Katherine Gorge
Camera: K-7 Photo Location: Katherine Gorge NT 
Posted By: Bruce Clark, 07-13-2012, 05:08 AM

Katherine Gorge, Northern Territory, has to be one of the most beautiful places in Australia. About 4 hours south of Darwin, it was to my mind, the highlight of our trip. Guided tours by barge are operated by the Jawoyn people. This was during the "Dry' season. In the Wet the gorge becomes a raging torrent.

The colours of the rocks and reflections are simply stunning. These were mostly shot with the DA 18-55 AL WR with polariser.









One of the locals



A Johnson River Crocodile locally known as a Freshwater Crocodile or "Freshy" These grow to 2-3 metres in lenght and feed on fish, crustacians, frogs and insects. They are very shy and pose no threat to humans, quite unlike their Saltwater cousins.

Nice photos.. I was kind of comparing them to my Barron Canyon shots... and wondering about going for a swim, until I saw the crock. Swimming in Pike waters make me nervous, and they grow to be 2 to 3 feet, not meters.

Beautiful area, quite reminiscent of many areas in the SW USA, minus crocodiles of course

Pulled the colours up nicely on these Bruce. You heading North or South? Are we going to see the Devils Marbles with the sun setting behind them, Or Uluru next?

Nice work Bruce, it's a challenging place to get good shots with the shadows falling the way they do.

Did you go to Edith Falls at all? Wonderful spot.
