Jayown Country
Jayown Country is Katherine & surrounds. It
is limestone country so the area is littered with limestone caves.
There are also lots of gorgeous bloodwood trees and one was oozing
blood-red resin. Thirty kilometres south of Katherine is Cutta
Cutta Caves Nature Reserve and we went on a guided cave tour.
Saw all of the usual limestone formations. The cave is extensive
but it only has one entrance so at sunset the bats come out of
it to feed. This cave is very hot & humid. The cave system
floods during the Wet so landowners pump underground water from
the caves.
