Tunnel Creek National Park

A 750-meter tunnel runs through limestone formations of the Napier Range, reaching heights of 20 meters and widths of 15 meters throughout the cave system.

The cave system formed when the Devonian reef was first exposed 250 million years ago, with current formations dating back approximately 20 million years.

The Bunuba people maintain strong connections to this land, where Aboriginal rock paintings decorate the cave walls and tell stories of their ancestral heritage.

Visitors need torches and water-resistant footwear to explore the tunnel, as some sections require wading through permanent pools that can reach stomach depth.

Five different bat species share the cave with freshwater crocodiles that inhabit the large water pools formed by the underground water table.
