The most famous billabong in Kakadu — a permanent floodplain wetland at the junction of South Alligator River tributaries, supporting thousands of magpie geese, jabiru storks, sea eagles, and saltwater crocodiles. Cruise operators run dawn and sunset boat tours daily. The birdlife at dawn is extraordinary. Yellow Water is home to one of the largest concentrations of waterbirds in Australia. Seeing 30+ crocodiles in a single dawn cruise is not unusual.
