Mamukala wetlands is a bird-lover’s dream. This short walk allows bird-watchers to see an astonishing variety of bird life.
Birdlife
Nestled into the paperbarks is an observation platform that allows you to quietly view the birdlife, there is also a mural that illustrates the seasonal changes that occur throughout the year.
With large numbers of magpie geese, kites, comb-crested jacanas, cormorants, willie wagtails, purple swamp hens, finches and kingfishers that congregate in this magnificent billabong this makes for one of the best birdwatching areas in Kakadu.
If you are lucky you may even spot an agile wallaby or the occasional crocodile loitering around the edge of the billabong.

This walk has the stairs of death on the Gorge Discovery Track. We covered all the tracks, two are circuits and two end on a street, which we back tracked. There is a centre in the park where most tracks cross over. The tracks themselves are beautiful, with great views and man made. The stairs are do-able even for a gumbie like me and the Deloraine and Spur Track also have an good incline. There is a wheelchair track though very long but is beautiful asl well.

The wetland offers a nice long walking path, perfect for a peaceful stroll or bicycle ride. However, there's little to no shade, making it a bit challenging during sunny summers. The area has a lot of potential but could use some improvements to make it more engaging. Despite being somewhat secluded, it's still a pleasant spot for outdoor activities, but it could benefit from a bit of enhancement to make the experience more enjoyable.
