Dan?ggu Geikie Gorge was carved by the Fitzroy River through an ancient limestone barrier reef. It's mind blowing to think that around 250 million years ago much of the Kimberley region was an ancient sea.

Bunuba Aboriginal people are the traditional owners and are joint park managers. Their connection with this land goes back to the Dreamtime. The Bunuba call the gorge Dan?ggu which means, the area where the water is very deep under the cave. The towering white and grey walls of the gorge are breathtaking. Look out for the white rounded sections of limestone, aptly called the meringues!

The best way to experience the impressive gorge is by boat or by walking. There are many well signposted walk trails to follow.

Danggu Geikie Gorge boat tours run from May to October. Tour guides give an insight into the wildlife and geology of the gorge. There are heaps of birds and wildlife around. Keep your eyes peeled and take some binoculars. You could be very lucky and spot a white-bellied sea eagle, or even a rare, purple-crowned fairy-wren. Freshwater crocodiles, 'freshies', also bask in the sun on riverbanks and exposed rocks. Wow! This ancient gorge steeped in Aboriginal culture and meaning is well worth a visit.
