Katherine Town Council

Life in Katherine is special, if a bit rugged. There's a certain charm to this town in the Top End and it gets under your skin.

Maybe it's the welcoming community, who are more than happy to show you around. With a packed program of events, activities and sports, you'll be kept busy. Or maybe it's the all hands on deck approach. Opportunities are plenty here and if you want it, you can be it.

Maybe it's the vibrant arts and culture scene, connecting us to country and each other. Or the postcard Northern Territory scenery that tempts our adventurous spirits.

Maybe it's the weather. After a sweltering day, there's a sweet relief when the heavens open. The landscape turns green and comes alive. Or the dry season's touch of cool that makes for prime camping with vivid sunsets and thoughts of "this is living".

It's all of these things plus a simplicity to life here and a depth that leaves a lasting impression.
