350 million years ago, Bandiln͟gan (Windjana Gorge) was a reef system with a shallow sea covering it. Today, you can see fossils from the reef as you hike along the Gorge Trail. The gorges unique rock formation is a result of the Lennard River gouging its way through the Napier Range.
Although the Gorge Trail is a short walk, you may wish to stay a little longer to soak up the beauty.
Commencing from the trailhead at the carpark, you walk towards the grey and orange rock face where you can see the river winding through the gorge. Accessible by a small gap-like tunnel you will emerge on the other side to the magnificent gorge where you can take time to view the wildlife. Freshwater crocodiles bask on the beach as others float in the water and flocks of corellas groom each other in the trees and on cliff walls.
Please note that the Time Walk and the Gorge Trail have merged and changed in difficulty due to an extensive flooding event in January 2023.
