Windjana Gorge National Park Information
Windjana Gorge National park is one of the Kimberley's stunning gorges. See the striking glory of a 350 million year old Devonian period reef rising majestically above the surrounding plains. The walls of Windjana Gorge rise abruptly from the wide alluvial floodplain of the Lennard river, reaching about 100 metres high in some places. The three and a half kilometre long gorge cuts through the limestone of the Napier Range.
The Lennard River runs through the gorge in wet weather, but during the dry season it forms pools surrounded by trees and shrubs.
The gorge is rich in vegetation and wildlife. It is situated 145 kilometres from Derby and 150 kilometres from Fitzroy Crossing.
A three and a half kilometre easy walking trail winds through the gorge, displaying primeval life forms fossilised within the gorge walls and an array of local flora and fauna.
