Windjana Gorge is very impressive and is an oasis in a desert. The first experience is the a walk along the base of a cliff face which has been eroded by water over many thousands of years. The sediment of the cliffs was built up over thousands of years by the sea as you can see sea fossils in the walls of the cliffs. There are some very interesting shapes and holes in the cliffs walls. The most interesting is a hole in the cliff wall where you can get behind and place you face in the hole and this makes a fantastic photo. If you continue further into the gorge you come to the river and when we were there it was just a series of water holes. But here is where the experience continues because in the water and sunning on the banks are all these fresh water crocodiles. If you are sensible about how you move and do not threaten them you can walk up with in meters of them. There probably about 50 crocodiles the day we were there that we could see. If you continue down along the pools and keep to the edge of the river there is some interesting bird life. The were Gouldian finches flying around and other small birds. Just seeing the gorge in the middle of no where was impressive on its own but add the wild life and the cliffs and it is a great experience

We camped at Windjana gorge for the night & walked in late afternoon.The cliffs along the face are quite a feature & the pools & foliage inside the gorge more than worthy of photo's.But it is difficult to ignore the many freshwater crock's that have been slowly forced into the last of the pools at this time of the year. There were dozens of them just floating around, some even right up to the shore.We had a pleasant night in the quiet camp as well.

The gorge is a normal gorge, you can walk in the middle for one hour, but the best moment is at the sunset, when you can see the reds rocks become black...there are al lot of crocs in the river! Amazing!

A beautiful wide gorge formed by the Lennard River and bounded by high vertical limestone cliffs. The river has many areas of sandy beach next to the river. I visited in May, not long after the end of the rainy season so there was plenty of water in the river. This is a good place to see freshwater crocodiles, all of which were in the water when I was there. I'm told they are seen more often on the banks later in the dry season (about September) when the water levels are low.The cliffs and the scattered eucalypt and boab trees provide some stunning views - perfect archetypes of tropical northern outback country.The gorge is about 140km from Derby. The first 75km along the Gibb River Road are sealed. The turn-off from Gibb River Road is clearly marked. The road was in excellent condition when I visited (May). I was in a 4WD but you could've got there easily in a 2WD car that day.There is a $12 fee for entering the park - based on an honour systemIf you're going to the gorge, make sure you also visit the amazing Tunnel Creek, about another 35km further south.

We loved the campsite. We thought it would be very, very, very basic..So prepared for the worst to find out there was running water and even hot showers!!! And all for a couple of bucks in such a pretty scenery!

Windjana gorge is unique.It is one of the best gorges we have enjoyed, not just in the Kimberley's, but in all of our travels within the country.A fantastic variety of wildlife abounds, sheer cliffs, great sunsets and camping, water and hot showers, make Windjana a great stop for a few days.there are entry and camping fee's, but they are minimal.You can also visit the ruins of Lillimooloora Homestead, which later became the police outpost-it is located nearby, only a few kilometres away towards Tunnel Creek.Visit the site below for full details:http://parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au/park/windjana-gorge

We went of Windjana gorge and tunnel creek 4WD safari tour. A must tour if you must choose Beauty and breathtaking. Morning Tea, lunch and afternoon tea are provide. Do not eat dinner at the petrol station (the last stop before heading back to Broome). The food serve is terrible, If I know I would eat at my hotel 10 times better. Our tour guide is knowledge and funny.

The Derby Bus Company run tours to Windjana Gorge & Tunnel Creek. We found it to be one of the best tours we have done. Our tour guide was an Aboriginal elder named Jimmy and he was magnificent. He explained the history of the place which was extremely interesting. Windjana Gorge is fantastic with lots of Fresh water crocodiles to see and superb scenery and a different treat was Tunnel Creek which is very, very different. A highly recommended trip if you want a memorable experience.

We stayed for one night and were pleasantly surprised with how well-kept and tidy the site was. There were also toilets and showers (solar heated – so the water was warmer late afternoon than in the morning).The start of the gorge walk is a short way from the campsite and as you enter (through an opening in the rock) you’re faced with a very impressive sight. The sides of the gorge tower above you. The walk is along an easy path which winds its way through the vegetation and trees at the side of the river. We saw plenty of freshwater crocodiles both in the water and basking on the sandbanks.It’s a magical place suited for photography, walking and for observing nature – we were even lucky enough to see a rock wallaby as well as a few kangaroos.As were coming back from our walk the sun was setting and we managed to catch its final rays setting on the Napier Range – the colours and glow was amazing.

An amazing place. It's like stepping back in time, being in a Gorge that was once o reef surrounded by crocodile that look prehistoric and so much wildlife. Well worth the rather long drive to get here.
