One of Australia’s most remarkable outback landscapes, massive Wolfe Creek Crater, lies on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in the East Kimberley.
Wolfe Creek Crater is the second largest crater in the world, measuring 880 metres across and to a depth about 60 metres below the rim.
Go bushwalking and see the crater from the rim – you’ll feel dwarfed by its size.
There’s also an information shelter where you can learn about the landform.
The Aboriginal Dreamtime story tells of two rainbow snakes crossing the desert and creating Sturt and Wolfe Creeks by emerging from the ground.
For a true taste of the wilderness there’s a camp ground with basic facilities.
Wolfe Creek Crater National Park is about a two to three hour drive from Halls Creek via the Tanami Road which accessible by conventional vehicles.
