Windjana Gorge
by Rodney Campbell on Sep.11, 2019, under Life, Photography
The main attraction of Windjana is the scenic gorge carved by the Lennard River, through the Napier Range
We were staying the night here in the national park
The walls of Windjana Gorge rise abruptly from the wide alluvial floodplain of the Lennard River, reaching about 100 metres high in some places. The 3.5-kilometre long gorge cuts through the limestone of the Napier Range; part of an ancient barrier reef
The Lennard River runs through the gorge in wet weather, but during the dry season it forms pools surrounded by trees and shrubs.

Of course more crocodiles basking in the warm sun
