Add a photo or a quick review to help fellow travellers.
A concrete causeway crossing the East Alligator River at the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Passable at low tide only — covered by up to 2m of water at high tide. Famous for crowds of barramundi attempting to leap the causeway at high tide, attracting enormous saltwater crocodiles. One of the most wildlife-dense spots in Kakadu. Cahill's Crossing is where the crocodiles congregate in greatest numbers in all of Kakadu. Watching 30+ saltwater crocs hunt barramundi at high tide is extraordinary.

Each location is scored from existing data: visitor ratings & review volume (social proof), official verification, amenities, safety warnings, access friction (permits/4WD), and how fresh the info is.
We show a score once a place has at least 5 visitor reviews. Until then the facts on this page come from official sources and site data — no score is invented.
