Woodland habitat at the Gungardun Walk
Gungardun Woodlands Walk - 2km walk near Mardugal camp ground through eucalypt woodlands. Spot Agile Wallabies and other wildlife. Starts at the caravan section of the Mardugal Camping Area. Features: A 1km return walk follows the edge of Mardugal Billabong. Families of kaldurrk (blue-winged kookaburras) noisily advertise their presence first thing in the morning and late in the day. Keep an eye out for rakul (partidge pidgeon) wandering around on the woodland floor. Kornobolo (agile wallabies) and dalkken (dingos) can often be seen as well. The botanically inclined will notice several species of eucalypts, bloodwoods, sand palms and liniment trees like turkey bush.

Mardugal Billabong Walk
A short, shady loop around picture-perfect Mardugal Billabong. This relaxing walk takes you to a beautiful picnic spot overlooking the water. The billabong is lined with andjimjim (water pandanus), towering silver-leaved paperbarks and shady syzygiums. Take a fishing rod and fish from the high bank at the end of the walk, but if you get a snag say goodbye to your lure – large saltwater crocs live in this billabong so stay out of the water. They rarely show themselves but they are there – don’t go down the bank to the water’s edge!
