Home to well over 1600 Crocodiles and the prime location of the famous or infamous Jumping Crocodiles, watch these gigantic prehistoric reptiles as they launch themselves from the water for a tasty treat that’s extended on a pole from your boat. You will laugh your head off, scream yourself silly and have the absolute time of your life as these enormous beasts follow you for just one more tidbit.
After all this, you continue to the Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre for views over the vitally important Marrakai Plains that comprises an ecologically significant portion of the drainage and catchment for the amazing Adelaide River. The large quantity of water all year round has enabled and ensured the roosting and feeding sites for many, many waterbirds, including egrets, magpie geese and brolgas. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity as you immerse yourself in one of nature’s miracles.
But wait, there’s more! It’s on to the Fogg Dam Nature Reserve to get up close and personal with the wetland ecosystem.
