Darwin Wildlife Park
Visit the Darwin Wildlife Park to see animals native to the Northern Territory, wallabies, crocodiles, pelicans and the resident wildlife park Goanna in Australian bushland settings. | Only about an hours drive from Darwin, the Territory Wildlife park is right next to the popular Berry Springs rock pools and the combination makes an ideal days outing. Drive down the Stuart Highway, past the turn off to Kakadu and then turn right a few k's further down the road to Berry Springs. The wildlife park is on the far side of the store and school on the right side of the road. |
| The park is quite large and there is a small train to take people around to the many aviaries, aquariums and enclosures. When you are finished, simply call in next door for a swim in the cool fresh water of the springs. | 
A crocodile watches through the aquarium glass. |
 | The glass aquarium gives a view of a crocodile that would be better not seen if you were swimming. Large saltwater crocodiles are found in all the coastal waters of northern Australia, so swimming is out of the question , except for protected areas like the Berry Springs rock pools. |
| The park's resident goanna soaks up the sun on a convenient branch in his enclosure. These are Australias biggest lizards, closely related to the Komodo Dragons. |  |
 | The Northern Territory has one of the largest populations of different bird varieties in Australia, and the park is home to parrots, water birds, eagles and many other native birds.
The walk through aviaries and natural bushland setting make this a real experience of Australia's wildlife. |
Black wallabies are favourites with the kids that visit.
