We were travelling on the Ghan in May and this was one of the choices for an excursion. What a wonderful choice, lived up to all of our expectations and more could not recommend a visit to to Katherine Outback Experience highly enough. This would satisfy everyone of all ages the animals the singing the afternoon tea were all exceptional an experience we will always remember, they even brought around ice blocks while we watched the show. If you are lucky enough to visit Katherine do not miss a visit to this place.

Adelaide River War Cemetery

Reviewed By Vicki-AnneJ - Woodend, Australia

A beautiful place for the graves and it it really hits home that the war was on our shores. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission do a great job with the cemeteries and it is a nice way to pay respect to the sacrifice the young people made. Were the only visitors at the time, a solemn experience. It really is a lovely place to visit.

I love visiting the reserve with my family. I can kick back and let the kids enjoy the beach or playground. All year safe swimming makes it though.

Christ Church Cathedral Darwin

Built in 1977 as part of the renewal of Darwin following the devastation of Cyclone Tracy, Christ Church Cathedral incorporates elements of the old cathedral and modern design. This award-winning building is home to a congregation of people equally committed to drawing from the rich resources of the historic Anglican tradition and finding innovative ways of sharing God's love with all regardless of age, race, sex, marital or family status, sexual orientation, ability or wealth.

Reviewed By LeanneW362 - Macleod, Australia

I decided to attend a service in lieu of just visiting the church. The congregation were friendly and were happy to show off their church. The building is beautiful and is a testament to a marriage of Anglican and Indigenous cultures. Well worth the visit either to worship or just to observe.
