Places and Drives - The Northern Tropics - Keating's
Lagoon - Mulbabidgee
Rangers from the local Gungarde Aboriginal Corporation
worked on the 1.5km (nearly 1 mile) boardwalk and walking track
on the edge of this important bird sanctuary. A bird hide provides
a perfect spot for spying on magpie geese, black ducks, whistlers
and brolgas, especially towards the end of the dry season.
How to get there
The lagoon is 5km (3 miles) from Cooktown on the Cooktown Development
Road. The QPWS office in Cooktown can provide more details on (07)
4069-5777.
