Insider tip — The Daly River region of Australia's Northern Territory is one of the continent's most biodiverse freshwater landscapes — the Daly supports the world's largest freshwater sawfish population and flows through country sacred to the Malak Malak and Ngan'gikurunggurr nations, whose connection to this land spans 65,000 years of unbroken custodianship. Iron-rich springs emerge from the Darwin Plateau geology in a tropical wilderness where traditional ownership and extraordinary ecological richness intersect.
