Window on the Wetlands
Windows on the Wetlands is perched on Beatrice Hill, one of the highest points overlooking the Adelaide River floodplains. The upswept line of the roof echoes the wings of the dancing brolga, one of the most spectacular wetland birds. Fun interactive displays help to explain the ecological processes that occur in Top End wetlands, which contain some of the most productive land in Australia. Flooded for half of the year and baked for the other half, this is a region of great contrasts. Touch screen computers allow visitors to find detailed information on local Aboriginal and European history, land management and the diversity of wetland animals. The top floor of the centre commands superb views across the floodplains, this allows the opportunity to see spectacular sunsets and lightning storms.
Free nature walks are available on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday from May to October, at 9:30am and 2:30pm.
