The area has captured me. Have visited 4 times over the years. Would like to buy into the area out of town. There's lots to explore. Stay with locals on their property alongside the Katherine river. Have only experienced the good weather of July and August. Needs to have more healthy entertainment for young ones. Plan to go back soon.
