Windjana Gorge, Limestone canyon in Kimberley region, Western Australia.
The Lennard River carved this 3.5-kilometer gorge through the Napier Range, creating walls that rise up to 30 meters high and span 100 meters wide.
The limestone formations of Windjana Gorge date back to the Devonian period, containing marine fossils from over 375 million years ago.
The Bunuba people maintain strong connections to this land, where their leader Jandamarra led a resistance against European settlers in the 1890s.
Visitors can access the gorge from April to November during the dry season, when the Lennard River forms a series of connected pools.
The permanent water sources within the gorge support extensive populations of freshwater crocodiles that gather along the remaining pools during dry periods.
