Black Russian Caravan Bar

Top choice in Outback Northern Territory


This cutesy little caravan sits sheltered in the western wall of the visitor centre. It serves Katherine's best coffee and fabulous, thick-cut toasties (from triple-smoked ham to Philly cheesesteak or Texas pork), as well as pastries and cakes.
