Daly River

Daly River Easily accessed from Darwin, this area is a popular destination for fisherman and easy weekend trips. The Daly River settlement has a population of around 560 and is located 110 kilometres west off the Explorer’s Way (Stuart Highway). The road is fully-sealed from Darwin and Katherine and no permits are required. The Daly River crossing was traditionally a meeting place for Aboriginal people to trade and hold ceremonies. By the end of the 1800s European farmers, missionaries, miners and pastoralists had arrived. Today the Nauiya Nambiyu community on the banks of the river is home to about 300 indigenous and non-indigenous people.
