Ajs is walking on the China Wall Halls Creek WA
Halls Creek is a town situated in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is located between the towns of Fitzroy Crossing and Turkey Creek on the Great Northern Highway. It is the only sizeable town for 600 km on the Highway.
China Wall is a natural vein of sub-vertical white quartz rising up to 6 meters above the surrounding country in places.
This striking formation transects the country for many kilometers, rising high out of the ground and then disappearing back into the earth again.
Scientists believe the wall was formed when the rock surrounding the much harder and resistant quartz was weathered and eroded away.
Aboriginal people have a different account of how this formation came about. China Wall is located 6 km from Halls Creek accessed off the Duncan Highway.
