Borroloola Museum

Outback Northern Territory


About three-quarters of the population of Borroloola is Indigenous and the town’s colourful history is displayed at the Borroloola Museum, alongside mining memorabilia, within the 1887 police station. If you find it closed, ask any of the businesses around town and someone should be able to track down the key.
