WUNAAMIN CONSERVATION PARK
WUNAAMIN CONSERVATION PARK CONTAINS ISOLATED PATCHES OF REMNANT RAINFOREST, WITH RIDGES RISING UP TO 300 METERS ABOVE THE SURROUNDING PLAINS.
Aquatic plants fill pools in creeks and rivers, providing cool relief from the starkness of the harsh escarpment. Head out on remote tracks and you’ll discover the region is sprinkled with waterholes, idyllic fishing spots and secluded gorges.
BELL GORGE (DALMANYI)
Located within the Wunaamin-Miliwundi Ranges (formally The King Leopold Ranges) is the popular Bell Gorge, a beautiful, cascading waterfall. The falls are easily accessible from the car park, just a short 1km walk down a marked trail.
You’ll be snapping photo after photo of the picture-perfect infinity pool. Have your bathers ready for a refreshing dip in the upper pool where you can swim right up to the edge of the water spilling over the rocks. The lower pool is great for those wanting to swim beneath the falls. Head down the rocky path to the left to access the lower part of the waterfall.
BARKER POOL
South of the homestead is Barker Pool, perfect for those looking for a lengthy swim. Barker Pool is a long and deep section of the Barker River
The banks of Barker River also provide the perfect spot for a picnic or wildlife spotting, if swimming isn’t for you.
MATTHEW GORGE
Matthew Gorge (previously known as Dolerite Gorge) is a beautiful grade 4 hike. There are plenty of pools to cool off in, however, the most magnificent is the main swimming hole, an hour from the main car park. This Gorge also has a delightful creek, meandering through the black rocks and cliffs of the gorge, with dozens of shady, small pools, rapids and waterfalls.
LOLA’S HIDEOUT

The perfect location for a brief nature walk and a romantic picnic retreat.
TWIN FLAME FALLS

Positioned against the backdrop of the West Kimberley, Twin Flame Falls offers more than just a spectacular water display – it grants breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding region.

“FANTASTIC SCENERY, BEAUTIFUL UNSPOILT WILDERNESS GORGES AND BILLABONGS TO SWIM IN. THE STAFF WERE AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. WE'LL GO BACK AGAIN.”
