Wolfe Creek Crater National Park
Wolfe Creek Crater National Park lies on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in the East Kimberley and is one of Australia's most remarkable outback landscapes.

Wolfe Creek Crater is the second largest crater in the world, measuring 880 metres across and to a depth about 60 metres below the rim.

Go bushwalking and see the crater from the rim – you'll feel dwarfed by its size!

There's also an information shelter where you can learn about the landform.

The Aboriginal Dreamtime story tells of two rainbow snakes crossing the desert and creating Sturt and Wolfe Creeks by emerging from the ground.
Getting there

Wolfe Creek Crater National Park is 391 kilometres from Kununurra by road.
 

Regular flights are available from all major Australian capital cities to Kununurra via Perth with Qantas. Regional airlines Skywest and Airnorth operate direct flights from Perth and Broome to Kununurra.
