Cahill's Crossing - The World's Deadliest Crossing
Cahill’s Crossing is one of Australia’s most dangerous bodies of water in Australia. Each year, dozens of cars are washed into the river attempting to drive on Cahill Crossing.It’s an infamous feeding ground for saltwater crocodiles.
It’s a notorious for its croc infested waters and human misadventure. A crocodile once decapitated a man there in front of his friends.
Each year, dozens of drivers attempt to make it across the submerged crossing but instead end up being washed away into the croc infested waters. Others risk their lives by wading in the waters and fishing. Some even bring their children.
Crocodiles frequently congregate at the river crossing, to feast on swarms of fish that head upstream with changing tides. It is referred to as ‘floating fish behaviour’ and up to 40 crocodiles can be spotted together at the same time, a spectacle that attracts big crowds.
The area has become so well known, there are even viewing platforms to watch the crocodile feeding spectacle.
The crossing is popular with tourists and fishermen — despite warning signs that point out an extreme risk of saltwater crocodile attacks.
Yet some people continue to risk — and sometimes lose — their lives. Amateur fishermen, families including children and backpackers have been photographed standing in the water with crocodiles visibly nearby. World leading crocodile expert Grahame Webb says “that for every crocodile you can see, there are “10 you can’t”.
Thanks for watching

Cahills crossing, East Aligator river, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia 2011
The Alligator Rivers is the name of an area in the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory of Australia, containing three rivers the East, West and South Alligator River. It is regarded as one of the richest biological regions in Australia, with part of the region in the Kakadu National Park. It is an Important Bird Area (IBA), lying to the east of the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains IBA. It also contains mineral deposits, especially uranium, and the Ranger Uranium Mine is located there. The area is also rich in Australian Aboriginal art, with 1500 sites. The Kakadu National Park is one of the few World Heritage sites on the list because of both its natural and human heritage values. They were explored by Lieutenant Phillip Parker King in 1820 who named them in the mistaken belief that the crocodiles in the estuaries were alligators.

Lyndon's Crocodile Diaries: Big Sunday at Cahill's Crossing
Big Sunday in September at Cahill's Crossing was epic, with the best crocodile show in the last 5 years. Beefy, the dominant crocodile on the downstream side of Cahill's Crossing sat on the road, with three other crocs, and put on a show. Around 30-40 crocs were seen hunting on the upstream side of the crossing, making for some of the best crocodile viewing on the planet. Enjoy the video.

Are You Brave Enough For Australia’s Deadly Crocodile Crossing?
Cross if you dare.
A river at Cahill's Crossing in Australia's Kakadu National Park is home to about 120 crocodiles — but that hasn't stopped people from trying to drive or walk across it. A man was killed by a croc earlier this year as he waded through the river. Seven people were rescued in another incident.
The crossing is, however, safe for 4x4s when the water is low. So you may want to wait for a drought to try and cross.
