Timber Creek is a small town in the Northern Territory - between Katherine and the border of Western Australia. It is a convenient place to stay for the night with two caravan parks -

Timber Creek Hotel and Caravan Park - large trees shade parts of the camping area, which is next to a small creek. Crocodile feeding every evening (5pm). The complex includes the Timber Creek Hotel and Wayside Inn (both have bars and bistros) and a small supermarket.
Wirib Tourist Park - powered sites for caravans, campers and motorhomes plus motel style and budget accommodation. The IGA supermarket / roadhouse / petrol station provides a great variety of products and also sells takeaway food and coffee.

There are plenty of places to park when towing a caravan and some lovely shaded picnic tables in front of the roadhouse. There are several shops to call in for coffee or book a cruise along the Victoria River - maybe go fishing for barramundi. We saw a great selection of souvenirs and interesting little gifts in The Croc Shop.

Just past Timber Creek is Bradshaw Bridge which is a great spot to take photos of the Victoria River - safely away from the edge and crocodiles.
