Fitzroy Crossing, Great Northern Hwy W

Fitzroy Crossing, which is 110 m above sea level, is located 2,567 km north of Perth (by the short route) or 2,690 km via the coast road. It is 259 km east of Derby and 648 km south-west of Kununurra.

It is now a small, predominantly Aboriginal, settlement on the banks of the Fitzroy River. Fitzroy Crossing sprawls. Without an identifiable town centre, and with some kilometres separating the new highway from the old river crossing, the town is a series of loosely connected small settlements rather than a single community. Its primary attractions are the beautiful Geikie Gorge which lies 15 km to the north of the town and the geologically significant Tunnel Creek and Windjana Gorge which lie 63 km and 95 km from the town on the road which runs north and connects with the Gibb River Road.En savoir plus
