I wonder if Hells Gate, being blocked at one end, was used to hold livestock of some description at one time ???. Thanks for sharing, take care, Cheers.
There wasn’t much info there Gonna have to Google that one But I think it’s where the Qld Police would leave travellers from Qld to NT back in the 1800s Cheers Paul PMK3AUSTRALIA

It was as far as the Queensland police would escort travellers out of Queensland heading to the NT in the 1800 and early 1900’s.
Hi Mark
Thanks for the info. I knew it was something to do with the border crossings.
Thanks for clarifying

Do you know when that stopped? My great-grandfather was a policeman in Burketown from 1907-1910.
