Description
Tunnel Creek
Tunnel Creek
is a
creek
located within the grounds of
Tunnel Creek National Park
in the
Kimberley Region
of
Western Australia
. Along with
Geikie Gorge
and
Windjana Gorge
, Tunnel Creek is part of an ancient
barrier reef
that developed during the
Devonian Period
.
[1]
Tunnel Creek is located 63 kilometres from the Great Northern Highway, between
Derby
and
Fitzroy Crossing
, and was created by waters from a creek that cut a 750-metre
tunnel
through the reef. The tunnel is 15 metres wide and up to 12 metres high.

Tunnel Creek was also the hideout for the
