Corroboree Billabong

The other "must do" thing in the Top End is a wildlife cruise. Kakadu was too far to go in our short timeframe, but I found some cruises on Corroboree Billabong that looked good. Since this was our one opportunity to get out on the water (no kayaking opportunities anywhere up here!) we chose to do the sunrise and the sunset cruises.

Sunrise gave us a very bird-focused cruise




Radjah Shelduck
Australasian Darter



Azure Kingfisher
White-bellied Sea Eagle
Pied Cormorant

Magpie Goose
Black-necked Stork
Nankeen Night Heron

Some buffalo crossed the road in front of us on our way home.

We stopped on our way to the afternoon cruise because we'd noticed some birds here in the morning.


Masked Lapwing
Radjah Shelducks
Wandering Whistling Ducks

Sunset cruise - a lot more crocodiles








Australasian Darter - male and female

Grey Whistler
Whistling Kite
White-bellied Sea Eagle

And a couple of bonus birds from the caravan park at Marrakai.
