River·Northern Territory·Australia

Field notes

Deep bend on the Daly River adjacent to the old Daly River Police Station and community, a well-known holding hole for barramundi through the build-up and run-off. Accessed from the Daly River community boat ramp; tidal influence extends well above this reach.
