Caranbirini is a small conservation reserve located 46 km south of Borroloola on the western extremity of the Bukalara Range. The Reserve protects a number of habitats including a sandstone escarpment, a semi-permanent waterhole with surrounding riverine vegetation and areas of open woodland.

The Reserve plays an important role in preserving the region's unique flora and fauna, as it is located within the ecological transition zone between the tropical north and drier centre.

Why not partake in some bushwalking? A short (150m) walk allows visitors to view the waterhole and its wildlife. The most popular walk is the Barrawulla Loop Walk (2km, 1 to 2 hours), which explores the impressive sandstone spires of the Reserve. The longer Jagududgu Loop Walk ( 5km, 3 hours) explores some of the spinifex country in the Reserve.
