Combined Family Holiday and birding trip

Visited Sites

General Travelling Information

The Top End of Australia's Northern Territory is a well established holiday destination for independent travelers. We visited Darwin (coast, mangroves, monsoon forest) and the national parks of Mary River, Kakadu and Nitmiluk, which provide riparian habitats, wetlands, tropical monsoon savannah and the western edge of the sandstone escarpment of the Arnhem Land, with its specialties and endemics. Around Katherine some dry habitat (desert) species are found at the northern edge of their distribution. Flights, rental cars and accomodation are easily booked online, but once you leave Darwin, food and petrol are sometimes far apart and it pays to stock up whenever possible. Groceries, dining and petrol is available in Jabiru and Cooinda (Kakadu) and Pine Creek. Katherine is a big town, with everything you need. We opted to stay in cabins in holiday parks and resorts, which were booked easily on the internet. The itinary was a hybrid of activities to keep the family happy (two daughters 13 and 11 years) and to maximize the number of target species (lifers).

The weather was hot and dry (30-35 °C). Bushfires are a common feature on the horizon and sometimes close to the roads.

Insect repellent is a must. Flies are a nuisance in most places, but don't bite. The occasional horse-flies do ! Mangroves and wetlands are full of mosquitos and sand flies. The last ones are tiny and quiet, but their bites itch for at least a week.

Most rental companies don't allow driving after sunset on the highways (meaning basically out of towns), otherwise you loose your insurance. Keep that in mind for early and late excursions (sunrise 7am, sunset 7pm).

East Point Reserve Coast

Easy access to rocky shoreline at low tide with patches of mangroves and coastal shrub.

Target species

  • Beach Thick-knee Esacus magnirostris

    High tide usually recommended, but we saw it at low tide

How to get there

Park at -12.40656, 130.81697 and walk to beach

Mangrove Boardwalk

Provides the easiest access into mangroves at East Point. Visited twice at low and high tide, which didn't make a difference regarding species.

How to get there

park here -12.41219, 130.83047 and follow signs

Common Brushtail Possum - Trichosurus vulpecula

Black Flying Fox - Pteropus alecto

Asian House Gecko - Hemidactylus frenatus

Slender Rainbow Skink - Carlia gracilis

Green Tree Frog - Litoria caerulea

Cane Toad - Bufo marinus - sadly crossed Kakadu and arrived in Darwin

Bicentennial Park

City park along the coast. We started from the car park at Aquascene with some mangrove patches and walked south. We also visited the Aquascene Fish Feeding Spectacle, where you can get in contact with wild fish at high tide. Birdingwise nothing special, but close views of common birds.

How to get there

Aquascene car park at -12.459643, 130.832556

Facilities & accommodation

We were surprised about the lack of food opportunities in the park - no cafes or ice-cream, just a playground and an open air gym. But downtown is close.

Other wildlife observed

  • wild sea fish at Aquascene
  • Metallic Snake-eyed Skink (Cryptoblepharus metallicus)

Palmerston Wastewater Plant

This site is supposed to be the best site for Mangrove Fantail. The facility itself is off-limits for birders, but I had information on how to access the site from outside the fence. However this track was littered with rubbish and recently a bush fire went through. I couldn't find any other access and had to leave.

Target species

  • Mangrove Fantail Rhipidura phasiana

    dipped as site could not be accessed

How to get there

park here -12.5048, 130.95541 and walk in along the fence (if the rubbish dumb ever gets cleaned up)

George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens

Target species

  • Rufous Owl Ninox rufa

    Classic site for that species. But we couldn't find a day roost, most likely due to a very noisy building site.

How to get there

park at -12.44572, 130.8359

Facilities & accommodation

Cafe and picnic sites

Mcminns Lagoon

Big freshwater lagoon with lots of birds. It's possible to walk around it.

How to get there

parking at -12.55061, 131.08005

Casuarina Coastal Reserve

Huge open woodland with good trails

Target species

  • Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove Ptilinopus regina

How to get there

park at the huge hospital parking at -12.35807, 130.87974 and walk in and north

Howard Springs Nature Park

Nature Park a bit outside of Darwin. Monsoon forest walk and small lake.

Target species

  • Rainbow Pitta Pitta iris

    supposed to be common on the monsoon forest walk, but dipped

How to get there

parking -12.45642, 131.05176

Facilities & accommodation

toilets, picnic and barbecue sites, small pools

Other wildlife observed

Mertens Water Monitor

Coconut Grove Mangroves

Best site for White-breasted Whistler. I wasn't too impressed with this site. Lots of rubbish and it feels a bit like in someones backyard. In fact, I met a resident in underwear and a cup of coffee, going for a morning stroll with his big barking dog. I also found a homeless guys camp at an elevated spot within the mangroves. Some more local knowledge about this site might be useful.

Target species

  • White-breasted Whistler Pachycephala lanioides

    dipped, but didn't spend much time at site - see above

How to get there

park at the end of Osterman Street -12.39414, 130.84856 and walk in

Adelaide River Crossing

Visited twice: Once early morning for Black-tailed Whistler and then in the afternoon for a Jumping Crocodile Boat Cruise

Target species

  • Great-billed Heron Ardea sumatrana

    Crocodile cruise provides access to Adelaide River, which is your best chance for that species

  • Black-tailed Whistler Pachycephala melanura

    A pair showed up after 5 minutes with very good views

How to get there

park at boat cruise parking lot at -12.66001, 131.33578 and walk north under bridge to the other side of the highway. Limited access into vegetation, but you shouldn't get too close to the river anyway (crocs !!).

Facilities & accommodation

toilets, cafe and picnic tables at the cruise operator

How to get there

park here -12.41149, 130.82509

Other wildlife observed

Agile Wallaby - Macropus agilis

Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve

Huge wetlands accessed by driving along a dam (walking not allowed). Walking trails only at the entrance area of the reserve, which we didn't use.

How to get there

entrance area -12.56683, 131.30795

Facilities & accommodation

toilets at the entrance area and viewing platforms along dam

Other wildlife observed

Saltwater Crocodile -  Crocodylus porosus

Agile Wallaby - Macropus agilis

Feral Water Buffalo - Bubalus bubalis

Mary River Wilderness Retreat

We stayed one night in a cabin. Initially just planned as a stop-over between Darwin and Kakadu NP, it turned out to be a good site on its own. It's a huge park with open and forest habitats and a network of trails. You can also access the Mary River by renting a small boat and explore on your own. It's quite an adventure cruising with the family on a croc-infested river. And it gives the opportunity to find Great-billed Heron and Black Bittern, as well as Azure Kingfisher.

How to get there

entrance to Holiday Park -12.90449, 131.65137

Facilities & accommodation

Cabin accomodation and restaurant recommended.

Other wildlife observed

Agile Wallaby - Macropus agilis

Saltwater Crocodile - Crocodylus porosus

Northern Dtella - Gehyra australis

Asian House Gecko - Hemidactylus frenatus

Cane Toad - Bufo marinus

Mamukala Wetlands

Good bird hide overlooking the wetlands and loop walk into the bushland. Insect repellent is essential at this site.

How to get there

park at -12.64952, 132.57281

Facilities & accommodation

toilets

Other wildlife observed

Agile Wallaby - Macropus agilis

Marrakai Track

Gravel road south of the Arnhem Highway well-known as a good birding site. Stop whenever you see birds or at promising looking access points to the woodland (tracks, flowering/fruiting trees, recently burned areas). Easy to stop at the side of the road. Some sandy patches (4x4 recommended).

Target species

  • Black-tailed Treecreeper Climacteris melanurus

How to get there

Leave Arnhem Highway at -12.74634, 131.47898 and drive south

Jabiru

Administration center of Kakadu Nationalpark and in my opinion the best base to explore the major attractions of Kakadu

Target species

  • Partridge Pigeon Geophaps smithii

    Was supposed to be common around the Bowali Visitor Center and along the short grass edges of roads around Jabiru, but not for me. In hindsight, it might have paid off to get out of the car and walk along the roads. This was very effective later on the trip, when I flushed Common Bronzewings every time I left the car around Katherine, which were invisible before.

How to get there

Anbinik Kakadu Resort at -12.66573, 132.83575

Bowali Visitor Center at -12.67393, 132.81752

Jabiru Lake at -12.671058, 132.839750

Facilities & accommodation

We stayed for 3 nights in the Anbinik Kakadu Resort in their unique Bush Chalets. Highly recommended accomodation and excellent restaurant. Jabiru has a super-market, petrol station and ATM. The Bowali Visitor Center has good exhibition on the nature of Kakadu Nationalpark and Jabiru Lake has a nice picnic site.

Get petrol before you leave the park driving south, as the next station might be Pine Creek. The petrol station half-way out at Mary River Roadhouse was closed and we were lucky to get some emergency petrol in a canister.

Other wildlife observed

Black Flying Fox - Pteropus alecto

Little Red Flying Fox - Pteropus scapulatus

Northern Dtella - Gehyra australis

Asian House Gecko - Hemidactylus frenatus

Two-spined Rainbow Skink - Carlia amax

3 major sites here:

Anbangbang Rock Art loop-walk ending at Gunwarddehwarde look-out,

Nawurlandja look-out walk,

Anbangbang Billabong

Be there early, as it's a major tourist attraction

Target species

  • Chestnut-quilled Rock-Pigeon Petrophassa rufipennis

    Nawurlandja

  • Black-banded Fruit-Dove Ptilinopus alligator

    Gunwarddehwarde look-out best place, but I wasn't successful

  • White-lined Honeyeater Territornis albilineata

    Lots of honeyeaters around, but couldn't find that escarpment specialty

How to get there

rock art at -12.86702, 132.81169

Nawurlandja at -12.86134, 132.79452

How to get there

car park at -12.43279, 132.96979

Other wildlife observed

Wilkins's Rock Wallaby - Petrogale wilkinsi

Yellow Water & Cooinda

A guided boat tour along Yellow Water River is a must-do in Kakadu. Not specialized on birds, but guides are knowledgeable.

The boat jetty has a boardwalk into the billabong, which can be explored before or after the tour.

The last tour ends at sunset. We had to drive back to Jabiru in the dark, which is not allowed by the rental companies. But the sunset over the billabong was worth it.

How to get there

boats leave from -12.89649, 132.51829

registration office at -12.9053, 132.52157

Gunlom Waterfall Creek

We visited that site enroute to Pine Creek, when leaving Kakadu. We didn't do the walk to the upper pools above the waterfall, but swam in the lower pools below the fall.

This site can only be reached via a gravel road, which is a bit bumby in places.

How to get there

parking and picnic site at -13.43368, 132.4171

Facilities & accommodation

You can swim in the pools, but at your own risk !!!

Toilets and picnic tables.

Black Flying Fox - Pteropus alecto

Little Red Flying Fox - Pteropus scapulatus

Edith Falls Road

Best site to see Gouldian Finch. The birds come to drink at puddles in the creek bed. It's not necessary to stumble around in the creek bed. Just sit and wait for flocks in the surrounding bushes going back and forth to drink.

Target species

  • Gouldian Finch Chloebia gouldiae

How to get there

Access track from Edith Falls Road at -14.18755, 132.08268. Park here along main road and walk to -14.186283, 132.082409 to view the birds. Driving in is also possible (to use car as a hide).

Nitmiluk Tours do guided walks through the caves. Highly recommended.

https://www.nitmiluktours.com.au/book-a-tour/cutta-cutta-caves-nature-park

Copperfield Dam

Very short visit to that site. Access road needs at least high clearance.

Target species

  • Cockatiel Nymphicus hollandicus

  • Northern Rosella Platycercus venustus

    Only site, where I saw that species. Expected it to be more common.

How to get there

picnic area at -13.84565, 131.81728

Katherine area

Rather big town with everything you need (supermarket, good restaurants and cafes, big visitor center, ATMs, petrol stations). It's the gate to the Nitmiluk Gorge Nationalpark.

There are some reedy habitats along the Katherine River, but too dry at the end of the dry season.

How to get there

town center at -14.465644, 132.263592

Facilities & accommodation

We stayed the the Knotts Crossing Resort at -14.4462, 132.27001. Good cabins and good restaurant (a bit more pricey than other food options in town).

Other wildlife observed

Common Brushtail Possum - Trichosurus vulpecula

Agile Wallaby - Macropus agilis

Nitmiluk Gorge

We did a boat tour into the gorge and some minor walks to look-outs into the canyon.

How to get there

Parking and entrance at -14.31633, 132.42114

Facilities & accommodation

Information center, toilets and restaurant.

Local guides

We did a boat tour booked through https://www.nitmiluktours.com.au/book-a-tour/tour/nit-nit-dreaming-2-gorge-tour. Quite impressive regarding landscape.

Other wildlife observed

Freshwater Crocodile - Crocodylus johnstoni

Two-spined Rainbow Skink - Carlia amax

Central Arnhem Road

Also called Mainoru Road. Well know location for some specialties. Stop whenever you see birds or at promising looking access points to the woodland (tracks, flowering/fruiting trees, recently burned areas).

Target species

  • Red-backed Kingfisher Todiramphus pyrrhopygius

    Check wires along the road

  • Black-chinned Honeyeater Melithreptus gularis

    Check flowering trees. Way rarer than similar looking White-throated Honeyeater, but contrast yellow back to darker wings and size quite distinctive.

  • Northern Shrike-tit Falcunculus whitei

    Extremely rare and I didn't manage to see it.

How to get there

8 km marker at -14.60243, 132.71183. That's where I stopped, but anywhere along the road should be good.

Victoria Highway

Another good birding road south of Katherine along the Victoria Highway. Again, stop whenever you see birds or at promising looking access points to the woodland (tracks, flowering/fruiting trees, recently burned areas). This road is famous for two creek crossings (Chainman and Chinaman Creeks), with good chances to observe Gouldian Finches coming to drink. As I have seen them at Edith Falls Road, I didn' check these sites.

Target species

  • Yellow-throated Miner Manorina flavigula

How to get there

The furthest I drove from Katherine was at -14.66121, 132.10061.

Edith Falls

Very scenic waterfall and swimming spot. Wetter than surrounding habitats, therefore quite birdy.

How to get there

park here -14.17898, 132.18822

Facilities & accommodation

toilets, safe swim spot, restaurant (cafe)

Bayview & Tiger Brennan Drive Mangroves

I visited this site on the last morning to clean up my list of dipped mangrove species (unsuccessfully). Easy access, but lots of people (even early morning) and masses of sandflies. These tiny gnats eat you alive when you stop for just a second and bites itch for weeks. At least it was the only site, where I got an Australien Hobby.

How to get there

Easy road parking at -12.44011, 130.85392
