Windjana Gorge - Tunnel Creek

OK back on line - a few weeks without internet/mobile access -quite nice actually!!

After leaving the Horizontal waterfalls we continued onto Windjana Gorge National Park.From here we went to Tunnel Creek - a tunnel/cave that was used as a hide out by an aboriginal 'freedom fighter'. It is a tunnel about 750m long and as dark as dog guts.There are sections where you have to wade through the water sometimes up to my waist. A torch is essential - when we turned off the torch and waited for our eyes to adjust , we still couldn't see anything. Afterwards we were told there were lots of fresh water crocs in here. Even though they are considered not harmful to humans, I am not too keen on being too close to them. Great walk.



Windjana Gorge is beautiful. Inhabitated by lots of fresh water crocs that sunbake along its banks. The reflections of the gorge walls into the clear, calm water is magic.
