Walks
Anbangbang Billabong (2.5km loop – 1 hour return)
Anbangbang Billabong is a highly rated wetlands walk that will take you through freshwater mangroves and amazing woodlands, where you will be enchanted by the birdlife. This is a relaxing walk, which is even more special in the early morning or late afternoon when it’s a bit cooler and the agile wallabies appear in the woodlands area.
Nawurlandja Lookout (300m– 40 minutes, one way track)
This steep rock scramble delivers when you look over the edge to the majestic views of the escarpment, Burrungkuy Rock and Anbangbang Billabong. It doesn’t matter what time of year you visit, Nawurlandja is guaranteed to impress. Looking across the savanna woodlands to the sheer cliffs of the Arnhem Land escarpment will give you a sense of the grand scale of Kakadu.
Nanguluwur Art Site walk
This site features many hand stencils and food source paintings, as well as the extraordinary painting of a European sailing ship, which is remarkable as the site is located 90km from the sea and nowhere near any port.
Gubara Pools Walk (6km return – 4 hours)
This walk is graded easy to moderate and takes you past the ancient Arnhem Land escarpment. Look out for the many different bird species congregating around the flowering eucalypts. This walk is open most of the year but is most popular during the tropical summer. Gubara Pools are also referred to as Kubara Pools.
