Geikie
Gorge National Park
The
Geikie Gorge National Park, situated
16km from Fitzroy Crossing, covers an
area of 3,136ha. This exquisite gorge
has been formed by the Fitzroy River,
which over the years has sliced through
an ancient limestone barrier reef it is
14km long and approximately 30m high.
Flood action reaching a height of 16m
above the normal level has left the
cliffs white and fossil deposits are
visible.
Geikie
Gorge contains permanent fresh water
throughout its length and supports
sawfish, stingrays, freshwater
crocodiles and many other varieties of
fish, bird life and animals. A Cruise
up the Gorge with one of the Park
Rangers will offer an insight into the
park's features as well as a relaxing
view of nature at work.
The
park normally opens in early to mid
April after the mighty Fitzroy River
has subsided.
Daily
boat tours of the Gorge leave at 9.00am
and 3.00pm sharp. (April October).
Private watercraft are not allowed in
the Gorge immediately prior to these
tours. Half day Aboriginal tours
conducted by Darngku Heritage Tours
include a gorge cruise.
