Djukbinj National Park
Djukbinj (pronounced jook-binj) National Park has a scenic drive through a floodplain network of billabongs, from Scotts Creek through to Twin Billabong.
The park protects a major breeding ground for magpie geese, herons and egrets. The wetland has cultural and ecological values so is classified as having national importance.
The park is part of the Adelaide River catchment, which is one of several connected catchments that make up the Top End coastal wetland regions.
This area is a traditional hunting ground for Limilngan people, who also manage the park in partnership with Parks and Wildlife.
Bird watching and photography are popular activities during the Dry Season. You can also enjoy the unique cultural drive from Scotts Creek to Twin Billabong.
This park requires visitors to the NT to have a parks pass.
