The Daly River is considered some of the best
barramundi fishing
country in the Territ-

narrow sealed road off the Dorat Rd (Old Stuart Hwy; Rte 23). Most of the population
lives in the Nauiyu Nambiyu Aboriginal community, near the Daly River Crossing. A
new bridge to replace the old causway was under construction at the time of writing.
There's a shop and fuel here and visitors are welcome without a permit, but note that this
is a dry community (no alcohol).
