The infamous Cahills Crossing
By erinn.smith__ · · From Pic of the Week
The infamous Cahills Crossing! It’s part of the Arnhem Highway and crosses the East Alligator river in Kakadu. The river has tide times and many drivers miss judge the flow of the river and end up in the water (as seen in the image!). There has been a number of deaths at the crossing because people fish at this spot.
Due to the flow of the river there is a high amount of barramundi present - the catch is, there is also a high amount of saltwater crocs! The deaths have been a result of people being taken in the water by crocodiles.
