The Fogg Dam Bird Tour takes bird enthusiasts east of Darwin to the vast freshwater floodplains of the Adelaide River.
Fogg Dam and Harrison Dam are shallow dams constructed in the 1950s to store water for a rice growing project that was ultimately abandoned. The legacy of that project is the world-class wetlands that developed upstream and downstream of those dam walls.
These wetlands are now home to large numbers and a great diversity of waterbirds: egrets, herons, jabirus, brolgas, sea-eagles, as well as wallabies, water buffalo, crocodiles and turtles. The monsoon forest that surrounds the wetlands supports Rainbow Pittas, Rose-crowned Fruit Doves and much more.
Guests on the Fogg Dam Bird Tour will see and learn about these Top End waterbirds and diverse wildlife while discovering scenic beauty, fascinating pioneer heritage and a rich Aboriginal tradition. They'll gain insight from birding guides with decades of experience in the region, explore back tracks that few tourists will ever see, and take home images they'll cherish and memories they'll never forget.
