Cahills Crossing

Cahills Crossing is a popular tourist destination in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is a notorious river crossing that is known for its large crocodiles.

The crossing is located on the East Alligator River, which is home to a large population of saltwater crocodiles. The crocodiles are particularly active at high tide, when they come to the crossing to feed on fish and other animals that are washed over the road.

Safety: Aside from ensuring you have enough water and fuel and your permits are in order, you should also Be Crocwise. There are crocodiles all over Arnhem Land, even if you’re not near the coast, so don’t just follow the signs – make sure you’ve double and triple checked before going swimming, fishing or boating. Cahill’s Crossing has a high number of crocodiles, so be extra careful and be sure to cross at low tide. Drop in to the Bowali Visitor Centre or the Border Store to ask if it’s safe to cross, and ensure you don’t enter the water here.
