Borroloola is situated
at the end of the Carpentaria Highway, 600 miles south east of Darwin. The
town is situated amongst the intertwined river systems which are link with
the Gulf of Carpentaria. The area is popular for fishing with several tour
operators providing excursions. The town is near to the sandstone Bukulara
Rock Formations and close to the Sir Edward Pellow Group of islands in the
Gulf of Carpentaria. Of these the Barranyi National Park on North Island
is accesable. Most of the 'Top End' is best viewed from the air and there
are many aviation companies sprinkled over the region which can provide
this service. Borroloola is situated within the Narwinbi Aboriginal Land
Trust. For any of the Aboriginal Land Trusts permits, which are hard to
come by for the casual visitor, are required if venturing off public roads
which pass through the zone.
