Natural Story
Towering sandstone cliffs rise above scree-slope rainforests and mangroves. Prolific wildlife inhabit this river. Look out for Balngga (saltwater crocodiles), nesting Madangana (sea-eagles) and the rare rough-scale python.Cultural Story
Yirinni (Hunter River) is protected by Marriawalu. The two striking stone formations at the river mouth: Wunggurr (snake) to the east and Aamba (kangaroo) to the west, represent the fate of two men who challenged the power of Gillinggi (Wunggu).
