Two Mile and Four Mile Hole in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory Australia

Getting to Two Mile and Four Mile Hole

Getting to Two Mile

Maybe closed early in the dry. Two 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 Mile

Getting to Four 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.

Features

Wildman River is geographically between the Shady Camp on the Mary River and the larger South Alligator River. The water is a vivid vibrant green colour dotted with beds lotus lilies. The banks are treed by their pandanus palms, flora and fauna of the area. A very pristine area here at these two billabongs that has abundant wildlife especially late in the dry season.

There are currently no camping facilities at Four Mile. There are no toilets, showers, telephones, power, BBQ and rubbish bins. Please take any rubbish you have massed with you when you leave.
