Overview

Katherine is a riverside town of 5,980 residents (2021 Census) where “the outback meets the tropics”. The town centre sits 350 m from the Katherine River and is surrounded by parks such as Dakota Park and Jukes Park, the popular Katherine Hot Springs, a three‑screen cinema and a 7,200 m² shopping precinct anchored by Woolworths. Families are served by several schools, including Clyde Fenton Primary School and Katherine School of the Air, while Katherine District Hospital provides emergency and specialist care. A mix of detached homes, Defence‑linked housing and rental properties accommodates long‑term locals, Aboriginal communities and the many “Grey nomads” who visit each dry season.
