To access Anbangbang Billibong we followed the signs to Nourlangie Rock. There are two roads to the right when heading to Nourlangie:

one leads into a carpark for the walk to Nawurlandja (Now-oo-larn-ja) lookout - a relatively easy climb and offers a great view of the escarpment, Nourlangie and Anbangbang Billabong. This was well worth it - plenty of parking.
The next road to the right takes you to a walking track and picnic areas beside Anbangbang Billabong - again plenty of parking.

You can park on either side of the Billabong to gain access. This billabong was full of lilies and birdlife - quite beautiful. Anbangbang Billabong is filled by runoff during the wet which gradually recedes and evaporates during the dry, attracting water birds to the shallow water to feed on the fish.

The paths are well marked for the walk around the Billabong, although it is not always open all the way around. There are signs warning of crocodiles so I was a bit concerned about getting too close to the water. We even saw a sign warning of a large buffalo that had been seen close to the Billabong - keep your eyes open.
