WESTERN
AUSTRALIA -
Tunnel
Creek National Park
Situated
184km east of Derby, the Tunnel Creek
National Park extends over a 91ha area.
Although small compared to other
Kimberley parks, it offers the unique
opportunity to explore a creek as it
tunnels through the Napier Range, south
of Windjana Gorge.
The
tunnel is 750m long and contains
permanent pools of fresh water. For
those carrying a torch, the walk
through to the other entrance is
fascinating and includes a short wade
through cold water. The walk is broken
into two parts by a roof collapse from
the top of the range about half way,
offering extra light and fresh air.
Near the North entrance to the tunnel
cave paintings can be seen and at the
other, the black dolorite and basalt
rocks used by the natives for making
stone axes. Tunnel Creek is classed as
a "day visit" only park and visitors
are requested not to camp.
Pigeons
Cave at Tunnel Creek was the hideout of
an Aboriginal outlaw who was active in
the region between 1894 an 1897.
Pigeon
Heritage Trail features sites of
significance in the life of the
Aboriginal outlaw Jandamaura better
known as "Pigeon".
