Description

This site does not allow caravan access camping trailer access is permitted. For clarification, please contact the Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation. No drones. The newly repaired track from the Central Arnhem Highway leads down to Binydjarrnga, a boat launching area and campsite with a view of Daliwuy Bay. Facilities here include composting toilets and tables. Sites are accessible by 4WD and suitable for tents and camper trailers. Good vehicle access provides opportunities to experience mangrove estuaries, mudflats, paperbark trees (Melaleuca) and other features of the inter-tidal zone. The mangroves form a dense forest that extends over a large area of tidal mudflats and sand flats. A thin belt of coastal monsoon rainforest that grows on low sandy ridges running parallel to the shoreline merges with nearby open eucalypt forest. Anyone wanting to visit this recreational area must obtain a General Permit from Dhimurru before they go. Permit applications can be made online or by contacting the Dhimurru office on (08) 8939 2700 or permits@dhimurru.com.au.
