Fishing and Birding Down Under

Fishing and Birding are synonymous to the Northern Territory, home to expansive and varying eco-systems from desert, savannah woodlands, and sandstone plateau to wetlands, mangrove and monsoon forests. Alongside the diverse terrain, the Northern Territory experiences varying weather patterns - a perfect combination that brings in over 400 bird species.

For the Birding enthusiasts, several bird species are native and unique to the NT, including the White-throated Grasswren, White-lined Honeyeater, Hooded Parrot, Chestnut-Quilled Rock Pigeon, Banded Fruit-Dove, Partridge Pigeon (Red-faced) and Helmeted Friarbird - to name a few.

Fishermen will feel right at home, as The Northern Territory is an unrivalled fishing destination with huge tidal rivers, scenic inland billabongs, mangrove-lined estuaries and a picturesque coastline. Its vast networks of waterways offer a variety of world-class fishing options. The Territory’s best-known fish is the barramundi; an aggressive predatory fish noted for its strong runs and spectacular jumps.
