TUNNEL CREEK

Located 38km south east of Windjana Gorge and 115 kilometres west of Fitzroy Crossing, the creek has cut a 750 metre tunnel through the surrounding rock. If you wish to explore the tunnel take several torches as it is pitch black inside. This is believed to be W.A.'s oldest cave system.

Looking at the peaceful setting today it may be difficult to believe that this was the centre of conflict and a bloody struggle between the European settlers and the Bunumba tribe led by Jandamarra.

Five different species of bat are known to inhabit the cave system and freshwater crocodiles are sometimes found in the pools.

WARNING: The cave may flood during rains so if it is likely to rain stay out.
