Window on the Wetlands reviews
18The view over the wetlands is far and wide that stretches across sacred land. Loved the stop and the chance to freshen up on some local knowledge. Graham is extremely talented with his art offerings in store, will be back to experience the wet season and this view!
Great place to view the wetlands. Graeme and Lynette have done a fantastic job taking over the facility. Thank you Lynette & Graeme for sharing your story to the 4 of us visitors and helping to bridge the knowledge gap.listening to their story on the region and aboriginal culture was an enlightening experience.
The scenery was nice mostly wetland wild animals like kangaroos birds water buffalos I enjoyed watching the bush and wildlife.
What an incredible view overlooking the wetlands great place to stop and take in the amazing view
At the entrance, I was greeted nicely by the landowner, a lady who asked, "Hello, how may I help you? " I replied, "Is this the visitor centre? " She confirmed that it was and began to mention the donation policy. As I was carrying a DSLR camera, she also mentioned that taking commercial photos was prohibited. This made me feel negative as I have traveled to over 40 countries, including all major cities in Australia and New Zealand, without ever being asked this nonsensical question. This incident happened after my tour of the origin crocodile jumping. You know what? I'm a tourist, taking pictures is what tourists do! I'm travelling from another continent, I'm not local, and I have already paid over 1250 AUD for accommodations in Kakadu and Litchfield, and another 3000 AUD for air tickets. This is just the beginning of my trip, and I'm going to spend much, much more. So I don't mind making a donation if it's worth it, considering that I'm already spending around 35 AUD for every meal. However, the fact that I was carrying a DSLR camera and was warned about taking pictures for commercial purposes made me consider this rude. I was sitting in front waiting for my friend, and I was the only one asked that question. Why? Was it because I'm Asian and therefore targeted? When I went to museums in Russia, they didn't even ask that rude question. They simply charged for camera usage, and I paid. Everyone with a camera had to pay, and that's the way it should be. Instead of picking people to ask, you better put up a signboard on the front door. This way, you won't insult people.
A wonderful place with wonderful stories to tell
The views are stunning.
The people who work there are fabulous, very helpful and friendly.
Ladies at the service desk most helpful, Cafe great. Needs to be better funded, great for the tourists with their knowledge of the different areas.
Netter Ausblick mit Hintergrundinformationen zur Region aber nichts besonderes. Das Personal war sehr nett und freundlich, der Besuch ist kostenlos.
A great free information area
The staff was friendly and helpful. It is great to see indigenous people sharing their lands and dreams with all of us.
It's nice and cool inside. The windows have an amazing view but the binoculars are hard to use effectively.
Learn about termites, and all they have to offer! Really friendly staff, who showed us straight to the cold water cooler to fill up our bottles <3
Really interesting place on top of a hill with great views. Great staff inside with lots of information. Well worth the stop.
Great views but sad enough this was the last day it was open to the public until they find an interested party to sell it to.
This is a beautiful place that has sadly been closed by the NT government. We’ve visited it many times and are greatly disappointed at the closure. Sometimes value isn’t just dollars!
Very interesting and informative exhibition. Great views from the upstairs lookout. A must for anyone visiting the area.
Great view point to see the vastness of the Wetlands. May need some updates to the displays but it was great to see the fish tanks full of vibrant critters.
Make sure you stop here! Very interesting interactive displays, magnificent view over the wetlands, and the video on The Big Wet was very informative.
This place is fantastic, so informative with spectacular views. Outraged to hear the NT govt.are going to close this place according to the news! Hope that doesn't happen as I recommend it as a place all Australians and visitors should visit.a must stop on your way to a croc cruise along the Adelaide River.
