Buffalo Creek Fishing Area is a fishing access point in Darwin's tropical setting — think markets at sunset, waterfront dining, and the kind of multicultural energy that makes the Top End capital unlike anywhere else in Australia. The Territory is world-class barramundi territory — but depending on the spot, you might also land threadfin salmon, mud crab, queenfish, or golden snapper. Best fishing is during tide changes, especially on the run-out. Close to Darwin with easy access. ⚠️ CRITICAL: Saltwater crocodiles are in ALL NT waterways. Never wade, never clean fish at the water's edge, stay 5 metres from the bank.
