Badbong Wodjmeng sandstone river

Circuit
1 h 45 min to 3 h
Starting from the car park on Bardedjilidji Road, Kakadu, this circuit track takes you along the banks of the East Alligator River, leading you through varied landscapes, including rugged sandstone formations, serene pandanus-fringed pools, and the winding path of Catfish Creek (Mawoernewoerne). Keep an eye out for the majestic marrawuddi, also known as the white-bellied sea-eagle, soaring overhead as it hunts for fish in the river. While the route offers opportunities for crocodile spotting, exercise caution and avoid entering the water, as these ancient predators are skilled hunters. Due to the track's difficulty, it's best to travel with companions and ensure you're physically fit for the adventure ahead. Let us begin by acknowledging the Bininj/Mungguy people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
