Windjana Gorge National Park

Windjana Gorge stretches for 3 kilometers through limestone walls reaching heights of 30 meters, formed by the flowing Lennard River.

The gorge walls contain a 375-million-year-old Devonian reef system that existed when this entire area remained submerged under ancient oceans.

The national park, known as Bandilngan by Indigenous peoples, holds deep connections to local Aboriginal communities who inhabited these lands for generations.

The park welcomes visitors from April to November during the dry season, offering camping facilities with showers and designated generator areas.

Multiple freshwater crocodiles gather in the permanent pools throughout the gorge, adapting to human presence while maintaining their natural behaviors.
