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.
Windjana Gorge National Park
The Windjana Gorge National Park is located about 100 kilometres out of Fitzroy Crossing. The Windjana Gorge is well known for its high walls carved by the Lennard River that rises up to an impressive height of 100 metres. There are scenic deep freshwater pools surrounded by trees located at the base of the gorge. Several walk trails that leading you to places of interest are also available.
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.
Mimbi Caves
If you feel overwhelmed to have to explore a dark cave all by yourself, you should visit the Mimbi Caves. Like the Tunnel Creek, the Mimbi Caves are part of the Devonian Reef system. Here, you would be able to engage a Gooniyandi guide to go on an inspiring tour of this natural geological wonder. The Mimbi Caves plays a spiritual role to the Gooniyandi people as the Aboriginal people once inhabited the cave. You will have an exciting time hearing about the Dreaming stories of the Gooniyandi people while exploring this beautiful limestone cave.
