Dick Perry's association with the Northern Territory's Fishing tourism dates back to the early 1980's. As part of a successful fishing tackle business (est.1976) and a marine dealership in Sydney, Dick developed PERRYS BARRAMUNDI FISHING SAFARIS'.

Perry's organized and conducted Coach Fishing Safaris to the Gulf, Northern Territory and Kimberleys to fish for barramundi and held one of the first commercial tour-operators license to fish for Barramundi in World Heritage Area, Kakadu N.T.

As a result of this long attachment to the NT and fishing tourism, "PERRY'S ON THE DALY P/L" was established. The opportunity to purchase 1000 acres right on the banks of the Daly River in 1993, was too good to miss as Dick and Carol had formed a love of the area and the "Mighty Daly River".

Perry's fishing safaris' is compiling a written history of our safaris over the last three decades. If you have any photos or stories you would like to share please submit them to Dick a.s.a.p. We lost many safari photos in the flood of 1998 and hope you can fill in some of our missing gaps. Either email the information or write to us. If you could supply us with copies of photos it would be appreciated or all photos will be copied and returned to you if required, in due course. Copies of any videos would be appreciated.
