Mulurark - NT

At Mulurark the Roper River tumbles over an arc of low flat rock, with calmer water below the rapids, a sandy beach and a broad rock ledge.As you walk to the Roper River you will pass clumps of grey pitted rock called limestone. However, when you look to the opposite bank you may notice that those rocks are flat faced, dark red and stacked in layers. The red rock is an ancient sandstone called Kombolgie Sandstone and can also be seen along the Katherine Gorge and Arnhem Land escarpment.Here at Mulurark, the Roper River flows along an ancient fault line that divides these two land formations.And if you enjoy fishing there are plenty of good, shady spots along the Riverside Walk to indulge your passion.
