Arguably the best fishing in the Southern Hemisphere


Birri Fishing Paradise is located on remote Mornington Island in Northern Australia, approximately 700km from Cairns. Mornington Island is just 60 km long and 20 km wide but is the largest of the Wellesley group of islands. Surrounded by the pristine waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria, it's about as close to paradise as you can possibly get. The fishing is so good you'd swear it was heaven.

Birri - Mornington IslandWarm sun filled days. Balmy nights when all you need is the setting sun and a cool sea breeze for company. The area is protected from commercial fishing, with the sole exception of prawn trawling and that's the way things will stay. This is a place where stories are told and legends are made.
