The Huts offer the visitors to Cobourg Peninsula a unique opportunity to explore one of Australia's last frontiers. This is an area of stark red cliffs and rocky outcrops at the edge of the Arafura Sea, clear tropical waters, white sandy beaches and sandstone formations.

Cobourg Peninsula embraces exquisite virgin wilderness, important wetlands, protected coral reefs and marine life, vast numbers of migratory birds, relics of the Macassan trading days and is rich in Aboriginal culture.

Prevalent marine life includes dolphins, sea turtles, crocodiles and the fascinating dugong, all of which are protected.

This unique area also has fascinating remnants of the European culture from the past century. You can explore the interesting ruins of Victoria Settlement at Port Essington. The British settled here in 1838 - one of the unsuccessful attempts to colonise and develop the northern coastline.
