Katherine Camping & Fishing is a locally owned and operated business dedicated to providing a friendly and knowledgeable service to a wide variety of customers.
From local folk to tourists, outback stations near and far, government organisations, community groups and everyone in between.
In a constantly evolving market with a yearly revolving circle of customers, our aim is to share some local know how on a wide variety of things to do and see in and around the Katherine area, whether you are a long time local or the seasonal traveller, according to owner/manager Matt Bannister.
"We also do a lot of dealings with farms and stations, government organisations, local schools and sporting groups," he said. "Whether it be sponsorships, donations or supplying them with all the essentials they need to run their business, play some sport on the weekend or go on a school camp."
After moving from Victoria and purchasing the well established business two years ago, Matt hasn't looked back.
"Living in a relatively small quiet town during the wet season is something I really like. But also, once the dry season arrives each year, the opportunity to meet new people arises and you might find yourself having a three hour conversation with one of the thousands of grey nomads who pass through, or having a few beers on the weekend with someone travelling around from the other side of the world."
This advertising feature has been sponsored by the following business;
Katherine Camping & Fishing employs three locals full time year round and a fourth helper for after school hours and the weekends during the busy tourist season.
"With all of us having a passion for getting outdoors as much as possible and enjoying some fishing, camping or hunting, we can share with our customers some of our favourite spots in and around town to enjoy these same activities," said Matt.
The services offered include supplies for all things camping, fishing and hunting, caravan spares and toilet chemicals, rod and reel service and repairs and assistance with all firearms, ammunition related queries and an optional account service.
