🌿 Towering sandstone pillars, paperbark-lined riverbanks and pockets of monsoon rainforest capture the magic of the Bardedjilidji Sandstone Walk beautifully.
Bardedjilidji is the local Aboriginal word for a walking track or pathway. It’s also the word for waterlily roots in freshwater swamps and billabongs. This 2.5 km loop in the East Alligator region takes around 2 hours and winds past rock art, deep grinding holes once used to prepare food, and a cool, shady cave that sheltered Bininj people while they hunted.
Keep an eye out for barrk (black wallaroo), marrawuddi (white-bellied sea-eagle) and the chestnut-quilled rock-pigeon along the way 🦅
