The ranger at Litchfield told me about the Territory Wildlife Park at Berry Springs. Generally I avoid these places. However, he mentioned that it had expansive walk-through avaries (I do love birds) and a great nocturnal section.
So, off I went to Berry Springs. What a great job NT are doing there. If you must have animals in captivity, then this is the way to do it. I was impressed.
The park is so large that there’s a jump on/jump off train that takes you around the various sites. There’s also lots of walking to do in between. And, not all animals are in captivity I found, as a golden tree snake slithered up a palm beside the track.
I’m sorry to say that I was so enjoying it all that taking a photo didn’t even enter my head. Sorry – no pics. However if you’re in the NT, you should seriously consider visiting this place. All the animals, birds, fish, reptiles etc of the Territory in one place.
Spent the night at the Lakes CP. Very nice spot.
