Katherine River Gorge, Northern Territory: Rugged sandstone cliffs rise dramatically from the blue-green waters, creating a stunning geological corridor. Weathered rock walls display layers of ochre, rust, and terra cotta, punctuated by hardy vegetation clinging to narrow ledges and cliff tops. Massive boulder fields scatter across the river's surface, creating turbulent rapids and intricate water pathways between steep canyon walls. The late morning light illuminates the landscape, casting sharp shadows and highlighting the textural complexity of the ancient rock formations. This powerful landscape represents the raw, untamed beauty of Australia's northern wilderness - a testament to millennia of geological transformation and the enduring resilience of the continent's landscape. The Katherine River winds through Nitmiluk National Park, offering a glimpse into the remarkable geological and ecological heritage of the Top End.
