Windjana Gorge National Park
Windjana Gorge National Park in the Kimberley region offers stunning bushwalking through the outback wilderness.
Rated as one of the most beautiful of all the gorges in this frontier region, Windjana is rich in vegetation and wildlife.
The walls of Windjana Gorge rise up from floodplain of Lennard River, reaching 100 metres high in some places.
Take a dip in refreshing permanent water holes and feel the power of Mother Nature which carved out the gorge over hundreds of millions of years.
The there and a half kilometre Long Gorge cuts through the limestone of Napier Range. A three and a half kilometre easy walking trail winds through the gorge – you’ll see primeval life forms fossilised within the gorge walls. Keep an eye out for birds, fruit bats and fresh water crocodiles.
