Field notes
Iconic Mary River floodplain billabong about 90 minutes south-east of Darwin, accessed via Corroboree Park. Barramundi, saratoga and tarpon hold the lily edges and timber, with run-off in March-May the prime window. Massive saltwater crocodile density - boat only, no exceptions.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
