Mary River Northern Territory Australia
The calm waters of the Mary River are best enjoyed on a fishing trip or nature cruise. The Mary River is an angler’s paradise, literally jumping with barramundi and other tropical estuarine species. Wildlife spotting cruises are a great way to enjoy the area’s tranquil beauty, and diverse fauna such as crocodiles, buffalo, wild horses and migratory birds are frequently seen. The area is renowned for its wide variety of bird life and the annual Bird Week, held at Mary River Park, attracts bird watchers from all over the world. Travellers come to view magpie geese, brolgas, white-bellied sea eagles, red-tailed black cockatoos, rufous owls and more. Accommodation options in the area range from air-conditioned cabins to caravan parks and campsites. Corroboree Park Tavern, the Bark Hut Tourism Centre and the Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge are found along the Arnhem Highway. Mary River House Boats offer a unique accommodation option available for hire.
