Two Mile and Four Mile Hole in Kakadu
National Park, Northern Territory Australia
|
|
Getting to Two Mile
and Four Mile Hole
|
 |
Off the highway (dry season
only, 4WD)
Where: There are two major four wheel drive tracks
in the area: The Waldak Irrmbal (West Alligator Head)
track (which accesses Two Mile Hole and Four Mile Hole)
and the Red Lily Billabong, Bucket Billabong and Alligator
Billabong track. Both tracks lead to destinations suitable
for boating, bird watching and camping.
Features: Both tracks take you to destinations
suitable for boating or bird watching.
Safety Note: Saltwater (estuarine) crocodiles occur
in billabongs and at the sea; for your safety do not enter
the water. |

Getting to Two 2 Mile
Maybe closed early in the dry. Two 2 Mile Hole is approx.12
kms along the track and has a secluded shady campsite with
reasonable boat access. Fishing here is quiet good and especially
at Four Mile Hole
Getting to Four 4 Mile
Getting to Four 4 Mile can be considered by most as rather
easy except me who has to stop and check every road point
three times. To get to the billabong you simply follow the
Arnhem Highway all the way to Kakadu. Once inside Kakadu,
you turn left onto the dirt road (clearly signposted ), located
just past the park gates. Four Mile is situated within the
National Park boundaries.
Accessing to Four Mile Hole one will have to backtrack approx.
4+km and then vear north for 28+kms through swamp lands. This
is over a nerve shattering and back braking corrugated road.
The access road into Four Mile is closed for around eight
months of the year due to the wet season. The reason is the
level of damage to the road by any preceding wet season rainfalls.
One should telephone before hand to Kakadu National Park and
check on the local conditions. One can stock up at Corroboree
Park Tavern before turing onto the access road.

that has abundant wildlife especially late in the dry season.
