DFR Club Outing - Mardugal, Kakadu

The next Darwin Flyrodders Club Outing is scheduled for the Picnic Day long weekend of 1st-4th August at Mardugal Billabong. Please register for this event so we can keep an eye out for you when you arrive. 

Timetable
ô  Muster at Mardugal campground anytime you want.
ô  Launch whenever you want.
ô  Fish whenever you want.
ô  Leave whenever you want. 
ô  You are responsible for your own camping fees

What to bring
ô  The camp has plenty of facilities including fireplaces, toilets, water and hot showers. Gagadju Cooinda is not far away for fuel, food and other supplies.
ô  The campground caters for generators but you have to be in the authorised areas.
ô  The boat ramp is perfect and in the campground. You will have access to Mardugal, Home and Jim Jim billabongs. Maybe to Yellow Waters but it depends on the water level. You could always drive to the Yellow Waters ramp only about 8 kms away.
ô  Main target species in the billabong are Barra and Toga. Habitat covers pretty much everything you would expect; pandanus, lillies/lotus, snags, deep holes, steep banks, shallow creek entries and extensive weed-beds.

Getting There By Car
ô  Departing Darwin take the Stuart Highway south to the Arnhem Highway. Head out to Kakadu National Park. A few kilometres short of Jabiru turn right onto the Kakadu Highway. The Marudgal campground is signposted about 50 kilometres south.
ô  Travel time about 3 ½ hours from Darwin.
ô  Remember all fish count for the annual Top-Ten and Champion Angler Competitions and you also get a bonus 100 points for attending a club outing.  Make sure you get your scores submitted to the Weighmaster by 12 August 2025.
