Pat and I are heading to Daley River during May and note that there are a number of caravan parks etc. that look interesting. Has anyone a reccomendation, we are interested in barra fishing and will carry crab and cherebin traps, park or free camp doesn,t matter, we are self contained.
Cheers, Nev.

goodday nev
a couple of years ago we stayed at the "mango farm" which is across the "crossing "it has about 20 powered sites and amenities were clean and the people friendly
or if you can find room you can free camp at the crossing (no facilities that we saw) and no shade
sorry thats at daly river

I'm from Darwin and when we go to the Daly we also stay at the Mango Farm. Call them first to check that the river isn't flooded at the crossing.

Thanks for the replys,
Looks as though we check out the Mango Farm, I have spoken to a mate up in the teritory and apparently it is still pretty wet, he hasn,t been to the Daley but I will call and ckeck river level bofore going that way. Failing that I believe Shady Camp is possible.
Cheers, Nev.

g'day neville, wooliana on the daly is also a top spot,green grass and a swimming pool. years ago[late 80's early nineties] i used to haunt the daly on my days off from working at a gold mine at pine creek,we used to camp right up the end of the road that goe's past wooliana but i don't think you can now.
the newish boat ramp is near wooliana and there is a jetty at the park.
try fishing the creek mouths downstream,[charlies,no fish, elizabeth creeks] and close to the bank on the big sweeping s bends . upstream at bamboo creek used to be a good spot at times too.
cheers sparra.
