Savannah Walk

Starting from Windjana Gorge car park, Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges, this walk takes you on a circuit, visiting Windjana Gorge along the way. This walk is a great opportunity to experience the savannah habitat. You can traverse between tall grass and observe big termite mounds that are scattered along the path before visiting Windjana Gorge, which is a River-cut gorge through a Devonian-era reef. You can also spot seed-eating finches, parrots and agile wallabies along with snakes and reptiles. The walk is relatively flat with gentle hilly sections, and the surface is either compacted or hardened. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
