Wolfe Creek Information
Wolfe Creek Crater – lying on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in the East Kimberley this meteorite crater is the second largest crater in the world.
Aboriginal Dreaming tells of two rainbow snakes who formed the nearby Sturt and Wolfe Creeks as they crossed the desert. The crater is believed to be the place where one snake emerged from the ground.
The crater is 880 metres across and almost circular. Today, the floor is about 60 metres below the rim and is generally flat but rises slightly in the centre.
Wolfe Creek Crater National Park is 145 kilometres from Halls Creek via the Tanami Road and access road, (gravel and only accessible to conventional vehicles during the dry season, May to October). Allow two to three hours travelling time from Halls Creek.
