Alligator Hole is a salt water crocodile habitat where you can see the mighty ?Salty? at home in the wild. Witness these fascinating prehistoric creatures basking in the sun along the sand banks or lazing in the cool waters with their head just visible on the water?s surface. It was officially named back in the early days when the crocodiles in the area were mistaken for alligators. These days the billabong is more commonly known as Crocodile Hole. Whilst the water may look enticing, swimming is strongly discouraged. The track to get out to Alligator Hole takes you along the Old Halls Creek Gold Rush Track. Originally built by prisoners, this track was used by gold miners in the late 1800s to push their carts to the goldfields. Alligator Hole one hour drive from Kununurra or a 30 minute drive southeast of Wyndham. Flights from Perth to Kununurra take three hours....

If you like ?big? town entry statements, you will love the giant Crocodile Statue in Wyndham. As you drive into the historic port town, you cannot miss the welcoming smile from the side of the road at the town?s entrance. The 20 metre long and three metre high concrete statue of a saltwater crocodile provides a novel photo opportunity. Visitors are known to climb the large sculpture for some entertaining photos. The statue was designed using a photograph of a crocodile and computer technology that plotted the crocodile?s shape. It was built with the help of students from Halls Creek Technology of Advanced Further Education (TAFE). Whilst its size has been over accentuated, it acts as a great deterrent to anyone considering swimming in the crocodile infested waters surrounding Wyndham. The historic port town of Wyndham was established during the Halls Creek gold rush in 1885. Wyndham is a one hour drive from Kununurra which is a three hour flight from Perth....

Moochalabra Dam, near Wyndham, is a lovely spot for a picnic under the huge Boab tree. It is a great base from which to explore the nearby Aboriginal cave paintings or to watch the local wildlife. Moochalabra Creek crossing appears just before the dam turn-off where you will see lush green growth shaded by large paper bark trees. Be sure to travel on and observe the myriad of bird life around the waterholes on the King River, 20 kilometres past the turnoff to the dam. The dam features a unique construction, designed to allow overflow to pass through the rock on the crest of the hill. As it is used for the town?s water supply fishing, camping and swimming is unfortunately prohibited. Wyndham is a one hour drive west of Kununurra and the plethora of waterways including the nearby Marglu Billabong makes Wyndham an especially attractive destination for bird watching....

Telegraph Hill offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the dramatic and rugged landscape on the outskirts of Wyndham. You can see all the way out to the Cambridge Gulf and ocean on a clear day. Explore the site where the telegraph station used to stand during World War I and II. Appreciate the view the naval officers would have had from the station during World War II, which helped sink the German ship, Emden. All that remains on the top of the basalt hill now are some of the ruins from the house that used to stand on the site. It was carefully dismantled and rebuilt next to the visitors centre in the town of Wyndham. Telegraph Hill lies within Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve where the birdlife is plentiful. Look down at the Marglu Billabong, which is a bird sanctuary for over 20,000 birds. At dawn and dusk you may be able to hear the harmonious sounds of birdcalls from the top of the hill. Telegraph Hill is a 15 minute drive from Wyndham and a one hour drive from Kununurra. Visitors can take a three hour flight from Perth to Kununurra....

See where five mighty Kimberley Rivers meet and flow into the ocean at Five Rivers Lookout in Wyndham. There are spectacular views across the Ord, Forest, King, Durack and Pentecost Rivers. You can also see where the rivers enter the Cambridge Gulf and surrounding mangrove swamps, mudflats and hills. The Five Rivers Lookout sits on Wyndham's Bastion Range at its highest point of 360 metres above the township. The best views are early in the morning or dusk as the sun sinks over the gulf lighting up the water in a blaze of colour. Pack a picnic and enjoy the view. When wind conditions are good, the Bastion Range is also the launch site for hang gliders. The Five Rivers Lookout is a few minutes drive from the centre of Wyndham....

Cambridge Gulf borders Western Australia and the Northern Territory and provides a meeting place for five rivers. The aptly named Five Rivers Lookout on the top of the Bastion Range provides a spectacular view of the Ord River, Pentecost River, Durack River, Forrest River and King River flowing into the gulf. The panoramic view of the Gulf, Wyndham Port and mud flats is spectacular. Watch the sunset from this vantage point for a memorable experience, and do not forget to take your camera.
