Wearyan River

River·Northern Territory·Australia

Field notes

Gulf-flowing river east of Borroloola, a remote mothership and 4WD destination. Snag-lined tidal reaches hold barra and threadfin; the mouth flats produce king salmon and queenfish on the run-out. Big country, big saltwater crocodiles.

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.
