Adelaide River
Bridge on the Arnhem Highway with tidal access. Accessible on most tides but difficulties may be encountered on extremely low water. Managed by NT Government. See web link for tide times.
Access to
Adelaide River is 70km east of
Darwin via the Stuart and Arnhem Highways. The river is easily accessed from a concrete
boat ramp just upstream from the
Adelaide River
bridge. The river has many creek mouths that can be fished for barra during both the tropical summer months and the run-off period.
Upstream, around
Goat Island, there are submerged
rock bars that fish
well through the dry on neap tides when the water is usually fairly clear. Around the river mouth, there’s excellent fishing for jewfish, golden snapper and saltwater barra. Succulent mud crabs can also be taken from this area throughout most of the year.
