Bamurru Plains Est. 2009
Bamurru Plains, Kakadu, Northern Territory, Australia
- The Scene:
- Bamurru Plains is located on the edge of the Mary River floodplains just a short distance from the coast and the western boundary of the 1,980,400 ha Kakadu National Park (about one-third the size of Tasmania). A region of exceptional natural beauty and unique biodiversity, Kakadu is one of a few World Heritage listed areas for both its cultural and its natural values. Kakadu National Park is managed jointly by its Aboriginal traditional owners and the Director of National Parks.
- Design:
- Spacious and cool, each of the nine safari bungalows are built on stilts overlooking the floodplains frequented by a myriad of bird and animal life. Mesh screen ceiling to floor walls on all three sides around the bed provides an experience in which you can hear, see and almost touch the wildlife and wilderness around you. The alarm clock in the morning is the call of Magpie Geese, after whom the camp is named, as the orange light of dawn spreads across the floodplain, all audible and visble without having to leave your bed!

Don’t even think about going out to eat – the nearest place selling food is a burger shack around an hour-and-a-half away by car (that's ok meals are included with your rate!)
