A remote wetland national park 100km east of Darwin on the Arnhem Highway protecting floodplains, billabongs, and paperbark forests along the Mary River system. The park hosts one of the world's highest concentrations of saltwater crocodiles. Fishing (barramundi) and birdwatching are the main activities. The Mary River catchment has one of the highest densities of saltwater crocodiles in the world. Also one of the best barramundi fishing locations in the NT.

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.
