Old Borroloola Police Station Museum

The Old Borroloola Police Station Museum is a heritage-listed former police station in Borroloola, on the McArthur River in the Roper Gulf region of the Northern Territory. Built in 1886 from local timber and corrugated iron, it is one of the oldest surviving police buildings in the Territory. Now operated as a small community museum, it displays police memorabilia, photographs and local history reflecting frontier settlement and Gulf region heritage.

Visitors can expect a small, single-storey heritage building of timber and corrugated iron set on Robinson Road in Borroloola. Inside, the museum displays historic police equipment, photographs, documents and artefacts relating to early policing, frontier settlement and local community history of the Gulf region. The site is compact and viewed on foot, with interpretive panels and period objects illustrating late 19th-century construction and use as a police station and courthouse.
