Djukbinj National Park, National park in the Northern Territory, Australia
Djukbinj National Park is a nature reserve near Darwin that spans across wetlands and floodplains. The area provides habitat for numerous bird species and native wildlife.
The area was registered as heritage in 2000 and includes Escape Cliffs, the site of an early settlement attempt. This history reflects the region's early European exploration and colonial efforts.
The Limilngan-Wulna Aboriginal Corporation partners with Parks and Wildlife to manage the land and protect traditional hunting grounds. This collaboration allows local practices to continue across the wetlands.
The park has two sectors: Cape Hotham on the coast, reachable only by boat, and Marrakai along the Arnhem Highway, separated by about 25 km of grazing land. The Adelaide River runs through both. Access is easiest in the dry season; heavy rain makes conditions difficult from December to March.
The area features a network of connected billabongs stretching from Scotts Creek to Twin Billabong. These water bodies serve as major breeding grounds for magpie geese, herons, and egrets.
