Border Store
Border Store near Cahills Crossing

Blog: Oh the most important thing to remember is there is a public phone at Borderstore (East Alligator) - At Borderstore there is also a great seating area out the front of the shop and really nice folks serving.

The must is the toilet across the road near the public phone. Careful it's the famous 'Drop Toilet'. If you don't know what that is then I will leave it up to your imagination - it's self explanatory.

Accross the road from borderstore is Cahill Crossing -actually a stroll thru a track of about 300m to the crossing.

Road to Ubirr, Border Store and Cahills Crossing
Cahills Crossing

Garig Gunak Barlu National Park is pronounced Gah-rig Goon-uk Bar-loo. It was previously known as Gurig National Park and Cobourg Marine Park, and is located about 570 km (by road) northeast of Darwin on the Cobourg Peninsula.

The Park includes the entire Peninsula, the surrounding waters of the Arafura Sea and Van Diemen Gulf, and some of the neighbouring islands. It covers about 4,500 sq. km. Cobourg Peninsula is the only National Park in the Northern Territory which contains adjoining land and marine areas.

Conserved within the Park area is a mosaic of sandy beaches, dunes and associated coastal grasslands, mangroves, rainforest patches, swamps, lagoons, coral reefs, sea grass meadows and rich marine life. This is an internationally important area as it was the first park in the world to be declared under the RAMSAR Convention because of its significant wetlands.

Permits and fees
A permit is required by visitors to stay overnight in the Park, whether you arrive by road, air or sea. Book well in advance especially during the school holiday periods in the dry season. In quieter times, allow two days to process permits. Supply alternative dates if you can.
