Katherine is the fourth largest settlement in the Northern Territory, about a three-hour drive south-east of Darwin. Katherine is often called the Crossroads of the North as it is located on the junction of the Stuart Highway and the Victoria Highway. To get from Darwin to Western Australia, you have to go through Katherine, and similarly if you’re going from Alice Springs to WA or Darwin, you have to go through Katherine.
They have a sub-tropical climate. For six-to-eight months of the year (April-October) they enjoy a dry season, which means hot days and cool nights with hardly any rain. For the rest of the year, about four-to-six months (November-March), is their wet season, with steamy hot days relieved by thunderous storms in the evening, the water filling their local rivers and waterholes.
