The floodplains come to life

May 08, 2015

Bamurru Plains is located just to the west of Kakadu National Park on the Mary River floodplains. A profusion of bird and wildlife are on the doorstep of a unique bush lodge that exudes ‘Wild Bush Luxury’ and brings a touch of style to the discovery of a remote and beautiful wilderness.

As the monsoon starts to fade in the Top End of the Northern Territory, the coastal floodplains are at their very best – the hatching of tens of thousands of Magpie Geese chicks brings life, noise and predators to the plains.

Explore flooded paperbark forests alive with birdlife, cruise amongst fields of purple lotus lilies and learn the stories behind Bamurru Plains’ prolific wildlife experience.

To book, please visit the Bamurru Plains website or contact Bamurru Plains on 1300 790 561.
