The Kimberley is a region packed with stunning island rock walls and magnificent peaks filled with crystal clear water. These gorges are considered one of the main highlights of the region and should feature in your itinerary when planning any Western Australia cruises. Regardless of the size of your cruise or who you are travelling with, a trip to these Kimberley gorges should certainly be on your bucket list.
Ancient Wonders
The Kimberley region was once sat completely beneath the water. While this was 300 million years ago, the rock walls that line the canyons still carry a lustre and complex beauty from this submersion. When the water levels dropped, the piles of rocks, fossil life, and sands that had accumulated remained as towering pillars and carved trenches to create the amazing formations we see today that are a testament to the vast power of nature.
Sublime Serenity
If history isn’t really your thing, don’t worry as the Kimberley gorges will still allow you to appreciate the sublime serenity of the area. You can not only bask in the deep blue waters and spectacular countryside but also listen to the birdsong and appreciate the rock pools and waterfalls around each turn.
You can get a true feeling of majesty, standing at the bottom of Windjana Gorge that allows you to see the fantastic waters backdropped by the characteristic Kimberley ochre red rocks that will supply the setting for the ultimate relaxation and contemplation.
Spectacular Sights and Sounds
The sheer magnitude of the fauna and flora is one of the best features of the Kimberley. There is an amazing array of creatures, particularly in the Mitchell River and surrounding smaller waterways. Nature lovers will be able to spot Australian birdlife, freshwater crocodiles and gigantic barramundi. There is also the typical menagerie of Aussie creatures in the area including wallabies, kangaroos, flying foxes, and emus. Whether you want to catch or simply look, the spectacular sights and sounds of the Kimberley gorges will keep any visitor mesmerised.
Visiting the Kimberley Gorges in Style
Although there is a myriad of ways to see the Kimberley area, if you want to experience these spectacular and natural wonders in complete relaxation, you should consider a Kimberley cruise. You can schedule a trip to the Mitchell Plateau and see Kununurra, Mitchell Falls, and the King George River gorges and sail across Wyndham. If you are planning on visiting the area, you need to include the Kimberley Gorges and these spectacular sights on your itinerary and tick them off your bucket list.
