Timber Creek & the Victoria River

The first inhabitants of Timber Creek were the Ngarinyman, Karrangpurru, Nungali, Malngin, Wardaman, Ngaliwurru and Bilinara Aboriginal people, descendants of whom still live in Timber Creek.

Timber Creek is a major stopping point roughly halfway between Katherine to Kununurra on the Victoria Highway.

Diverse and awe-inspiring in landforms, history, heritage and abundant wildlife, the region challenges you to discover its unique attractions.

This is where you have the freedom to give your four-wheel drive a real workout. It attracts enthusiastic anglers eager to get onto the Victoria River and catch the precious barramundi. For non-anglers its interest lies in the western section of the Judbarra/Gregory National Park which is accessible by 4WD and offers opportunities to explore gorges and rugged outback country far removed from the crowds who cling to Highway 1.

Victoria River Crossing

The Victoria River Crossing is 194 kilometres west of Katherine. The stunning escarpment country provides the perfect backdrop for fishing tours, with Red Valley Gorge providing a shady and scenic rest area.
