Description


Geikie Gorge
Geikie Gorge (known locally as Darngku)[1] is a feature of the Napier Range and is located within the grounds of Geikie Gorge National Park, 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Fitzroy Crossing, 1,831 km (1,138 mi) northeast of Perth and 420 km (260 mi) east of Broome in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. Believed to be one of the best-known and most easily accessed,[2] the gorge is named in honour of Sir Archibald Geikie, the Director General of Geological Survey for Great Britain and Ireland when it was given its European name in 1883.[3]
