The surrounding coastline is also spectacular with coastal cliffs, gorges, mangrove lined bays, enormous sand dunes and rugged sandstone country. The Prince Regent Nature Reserve is one of Australia's most remote places. In rugged sandstone and volcanic country, it protects many areas of scenic grandeur. Spectacular features include King Cascade, Pitta Gorge, Mount Trafalgar, lush rainforests, Python Cliffs and the Prince Regent River, which runs almost straight for most of its length, often between near-vertical cliffs. This is real wilderness country, with the only access by air or boat.
Visitors can truly say they've been to a place seen by very few.
The area has more than half of the mammal and bird species found in the whole Kimberley region and more than 500 species of plants. The water-streaked walls of Windjana Gorge National Park rise majestically to a height of 100 metres. You can see primeval life forms fossilised within the gorge walls, an ancient barrier reef. Basking in the pools are crocodiles that have descended almost unchanged from the time of the dinosaurs. Plants such as the boab and the helicopter tree also inhabit the gorge.
