Australia - Windjana Gorge - Gibb River Road - Travel Tips
Windjana Gorge National park is one of the Kimberley's most stunning gorges.
LOCATION AND CAMPGROUND
Windjana Gorge is located about 145 kilometres from Derby. No, you don't have to travel the Gibb River Road to see Windjana. The turn off is very close to Derby, before the Gibb River Road gets serious. If you are driving the Gibb River Road, Windjana is an obvious first or last stop for your trip.
The park has good camping facilities and the Windjana Gorge Campground provides showers, toilets and fire pits.
THE GORGE
The Walk to the Gorge, begins at the campground and winds through the gorge. The short walk takes a look at marine life forms fossilized within the limestone of the gorge walls. The 3.5-kilometre long gorge cuts through the limestone of the Napier Range; part of an ancient barrier reef. The walls of the Gorge rise abruptly from the wide floodplain of the Lennard River, reaching about 100 meters high in some places.
WINDJANA FRESHWATER CROCODILES
Many freshwater crocodiles bask in the pools. They are generally small – in between a meter and 3 meters at the most. Freshwater crocodiles are usually harmless. They won't stalk or attack you like saltwater crocodiles do. Still, a crocodile is a crocodile and their teeth are razor sharp, so take care...

Windjana Gorge, Western Australia
Visiting Windjana Gorge was one of our most loved experiences on our recent journey.
With 300m limestone cliffs, fossilised fishes and a lagoon that was filled with freshwater crocodiles, it made for an experience rich walk. All in under 1.5kms from our camp! BONUS!
View this video to see a snippet of what we saw, but truly the real beauty is when you see a sunset from the camping grounds and experience the gorge for yourself.

Epsiode #36, Süsswasserkrokodile in der Windjana Gorge, Australien In 100 Tagen
In der Windjana Schlucht soll es Süßwasserkrokodile geben, die an der langen und schmalen Schnauze zu erkennen sein sollen. Und tatsächlich, wir entdecken mindestens zehn Krokodile im Wasser, sie dümpeln herum und lassen sich von uns nicht weiter stören. Ganz nah gehen wir heran, denn Süßwasserkrokodile sind wesentlich weniger gefährlich als ihre Salzwasserkollegen. Man sollte nur darauf achten, dass sie sich nicht in die Enge getrieben fühlen, denn sonst können auch sie zuschnappen. Ansonsten entfernen sie sich gemächlich im Wasser, wenn man ihnen zu nahe kommt.
