Welcome to Fitzroy Crossing

The Fitzroy Valley is home to many Aboriginal language groups, the Bunuba, Nyikina, Gooniyandi, Wangkatjungka and Walmajarri. Due to this diversity, there are a strong presence of aboriginal art and culture in this area, evident in the number of art galleries.

Believe it or not, the area around Fitzroy Crossing were once covered by tropical sea, and were once reefs. Today, the sea that once covered the area no longer exists and these lands were exposed, featuring rich gorges, abundant wildlife, rugged landscape and interesting formations.

Fitzroy Crossing is located on a low rise in land surrounded by a vast expanse of floodplains along the Fitzroy River. One of the best ways to get to The Kimberley is to hire a car from Perth Airport.

THINGS TO SEE IN FITZROY CROSSING

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Geikie Gorge National Park

Just 20 kilometres out of Fitzroy Crossing is the Geikie Gorge National Park, part of the Devonian Reefs National Park. The spectacular gorge was once under water many millions of years ago during the Devonian times. The spectacular white and grey walls of the gorge itself were ancient limestone reefs carved by the Fitzroy River over the years. Boat tours are also available so you can admire the gorge while cruising the river.

Tunnel Creek National Park

Also part of the Devonian Reefs National Park, the Tunnel Creek National Park covers the whole of the Napier Range that can be seen at Windjana Gorge. The long winding tunnels form the oldest cave system in Western Australia, they were series of ancient reef systems from the Devonian era. The area is also of significance to the Aboriginal people as it was the hideout of Jandamarra, who fought to preserve his homeland. When you visit, do bring along a torch as there are no lighting in these ancient caves and it can be dark in there.
