Windjana Gorge & Tunnel Creek

Windjana Gorge is part of the Kimberley "barrier reef", limestone deposits left behind after the great inland sea departed a few millennia ago. One picture includes the fossilised remains of a crustacean left behind from the Devonian Period (about 350million years ago). The Gorge walk is glorious- sandy and shaded, giving a sub-tropical feel with the beauty of massive limestone cliffs and River views on either side. Freshwater crocs are literally everywhere but are so shy there is no way you could get near enough for them to be a problem.

Tunnel Creek, an amazing underground water system. Once home to Jandamurra, an aboriginal warrior who defied white settler's incursions into his country in the late 1800's. A walk through Tunnel Creek requires a torch, the dexterity to wade through chilling water up to waist deep (in Rosie's case), and to accept that you are sharing the waterway with freshwater crocodiles and a cave ceiling pock- a-dotted with bats. Not to mention a 1.5km return trip underground. Something special!Read more
