Berry Springs Nature Park
Description
Berry Creek starts from a number of springs, forms a small creek, then reaches Darwin Harbour through a mangrove lined estuary. The Park provides an attractive area close to Darwin for picnics and swimming and is surrounded by monsoon rainforest. The park is perfect for recreational activities, barbeques and also provides a refreshing swimming spot after a day at The Territory Wildlife Park. If you swim with goggles you can see many small native fish and other aquatic life that live in the clear pools. Be careful during wet season as flooding may occur. There is an interpretive centre that provides a brief description of the area, including some historical references, photographs and information on flora and fauna. A walking track takes you through two Top End habitats, starting from the picnic area, take binoculars if you are keen on birdwatching.
