Geikie Gorge

Just outside Fitzroy Crossing to the north west is the ‘sister’ gorge to Windjana, known as Geikie Gorge. Geikie is quite different and not as majestic as Windjana. Here the river is much deeper and wider, the rock formations are more easily approached, not as high or as difficult to clamber. If the crocs are as prevalent they are not as obvious.

The river is wide and deep here. In fact a cruise is available, cancelled the day we visited due to very cautious parks officers concern about the threat of rain.

Kytes are very numerous throughout the Kimberley.
