We were nearing the end of our trip around the Kimberley, and on the second last day on our way back to Broome, we stopped at Windjana Gorge.
Windjana Gorge is part of a 375 million-year-old Devonian reef system carved by the Lennard River. The area is prominent for the Bunuba people of the Kimberly region. In the 1890s, the Bunuba man Jandamarra, a former stockman, led an armed insurrection. In late 1894, a posse of 30 or so heavily armed police and settlers attacked Jandamarra and his followers in Windjana Gorge. Jandamarra was wounded but escaped.

This is a panorama of 10 photos stitched using Microsoft ICE. I left the photographers in there (bottom right) to show scale.
There were a lot of fresh water crocs cruising around in the river but they weren’t really interested in us.

It’s hard to picture the size of these rocks walls, but look along the edge of the sand near the yellow grass and you’ll spot 2 people. Then you can imagine the scale
