Ancient Devonian reef gorge carved by the Fitzroy River in remote Kimberley country

Danggu (Geikie) Gorge National Park

Danggu (Geikie) Gorge National Park protects a dramatic limestone gorge in the heart of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The park centers on Dan͟ggu Geikie Gorge, an eight-kilometer-long canyon carved through the ancient Napier Range by the perpetual flow of the Fitzroy River. This landscape represents the fossilized remains of a Devonian barrier reef built by algae and lime-secreting organisms over 350 million years ago, with reef limestone now standing as a range rising up to 100 meters above the surrounding plains. The gorge walls reach 30 meters in height and display dramatic flood marks where wet season waters can rise by up to 16.5 meters, scouring the limestone white with each annual inundation. The park lies approximately 420 kilometers east of Broome and just 20 kilometers from Fitzroy Crossing, making it one of the most accessible gorges in the Kimberley, though it has been closed since 2023 due to flood damage.
