Garig Gunak Barlu should be on every traveller's list.

It is at the very top of the Northern Territory (NT) and accessed by travelling through Arnhem Land.

It is a remote, rugged area fringed with magnificent white beaches on the Cobourg Peninsula.

The jointly-managed national park is perfect for bushwalking, birdwatching, fishing, boating and photography.

You may see saltwater crocodiles and the endangered dugong swimming in the clear blue ocean.

Stop at the Black Point Cultural Centre to see displays of Aboriginal, Macassan and European histories of the area.

Don't miss the ruins of the Victoria Settlement that are accessible only by boat.

Do not swim in the park as there are saltwater crocodiles and box jellyfish.

You must be fully self-sufficient and take enough food, water and fuel with you to last the trip, which is usually a week or more.
