Rockhole – Gateway to the Mary River Wetlands

Just an hour's drive from Darwin, Rockhole offers easy access to the spectacular waterways of the Mary River system – a top spot for barramundi fishing and wildlife watching.

Located off Point Stuart Road in Mary River National Park, this peaceful launch point features a boat ramp, making it ideal for a day on the water. Cruise through permanent wetlands teeming with birdlife, and keep an eye out for both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles.

Access the park via the Bird Billabong turnoff or directly from Point Stuart Road.

Remember: Be Crocwise.
