Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve — Attraction in Northern Territory

This conservation area is amazing. There are so many different bird species here. The two designated tracks offer different specialities. The left boardwalk track is beautiful, especially when the Lotus Lilly are in bloom. The right track offers more rainforest-like birds such as Rose-crowned Fruit-dove and Rainbow Pitta.

Don't miss the road down the middle. It can't be walked due to crocs, but you are still able to drive through and stop at the hides along the way. At the end of the track there is a multi level bird hide where you can spot many more birds and possibly crocs.

It is best to visit this place early in the morning (dry season) for maximum birds, and comfort temperature wise.

We came here to wait for a jumping croc tour and we are so glad we did visit this area. There are 3 mains walks which are displayed on the information board, all of them were great. Currently the main dam wall is closed for walking due to crocs (but you can still drive and quickly get out!) The walks are very easy and flat, great for all and shaded in most areas. You will see stunning birdlife and lilies in this region, it’s amazing.

However could see the great water lilies and tranquil bird life. On return to Darwin, we had 1/2 a day free so drove the 40 minutes to Fogg Dam and found the dam open, so could drive to the viewing points. Absolutely worth it. Met a ranger who mentioned recent research found that the lagoon had one of the highest concentrations of water pythons in the world (Happy not to see any). Also the 3 boardwalks are stunning, especially the furthest one, over...
