A peaceful billabong near Cooinda in Kakadu, less visited than Yellow Water but equally rich in birdlife. Walking trails encircle the billabong through monsoon forest edges. Magpie geese, brolgas, jabiru, and various heron species are common. A quiet alternative to the busier Yellow Water cruises. One of Kakadu's quieter birdwatching billabongs. The magpie goose population here can exceed 2,000 birds in the dry season.

Where does this information come from?

Each location is scored from existing data: visitor ratings & review volume (social proof), official verification, amenities, safety warnings, access friction (permits/4WD), and how fresh the info is.

We show a score once a place has at least 5 visitor reviews. Until then the facts on this page come from official sources and site data — no score is invented.
