You won't want to swim in these waters though...or you might meet this guy...or one of his relatives.


Crocodiles live here. And they like tourists, too...

The Gorge from the Top.

Six kilometers in length...but narrowing to only 2 metres in the tightest areas.

Formed about 1700 Million years ago...the area is protected and can only be visited by guided tour.




(or virtually)



Scenic helicopter flights over the Gorge are also available.
