Adventure the way you want it

Borroloola and the Gulf

---

 

The Gulf Region is a popular area for fishing and exploring many attractions. This is adventure country.

Cape Crawford

Cape Crawford lies at the intersection of the Carpentaria and Tableland Highways – the gateway to the Gulf Country. Access the Abner Ranges Lost City formation by helicopter from here.

Lynotts Lookout

Named for Tom Lynott who first discovered traces of silver, lead and copper in the area in the mid 1880s, this lookout provides a panoramic view of Borroloola township. You will find it at the western end of Garawa Street, after the Police Station.

Caranbirini Conservation Reserve Caranbirini is located 46 kilometres south of Borroloola on the western edge of the Bukulara Range, just off the Carpentaria Highway. It incorporates sandstone escarpments, a semi-permanent waterhole with surrounding riverine vegetation and areas of open woodland.

The waterhole is surrounded by 25-metre-high sandstone spires known as the ‘Lost City’. There are short walks that allow you to explore the area.

Limmen National Park

Located 182 kilometres northwest of Borroloola, this park is accessed from the Roper River Road or by travelling north from Cape Crawford and features several ‘Lost City’ formations.

The main recreational activity is fishing on the Towns, Roper and Limmen Rivers. Remote camping is permitted in several places along the rivers, with pit toilets at Butterfly Springs, Limmen Crossing and Towns River. Camping fees apply and sites must be pre-booked online before arrival.

Lorella Springs

Lorella Springs Wilderness Park is part of Lorella Springs Station, a virtually untouched one million acre cattle station located 180km west of Borroloola, off the Savannah Way. This huge, remote property offers a retreat of solitude and serenity with 25 kilometres of coastline, plus waterways, wetlands and swamps, rock formations and mountain ranges, chasms and gorges, and a variety of wildlife. Access to Lorella Springs is currently only available to pre-booked Outback Tour Groups.

Seven Emu Station

Don’t miss this great destination for the self-sufficient four-wheel drive traveller, providing access to the coast and AWC Wildlife Sanctuary. Let the Shadforth family show and teach you about nature, culture and heritage on a genuine outback cattle station or relax with a bit of barramundi fishing on the Robinson River.
