Return to Wyndham

Cambridge Gulf borders Western Australia and the Northern Territory and provides a meeting place for five rivers. The aptly named Five Rivers Lookout on the top of the Bastion Range provides a spectacular view of the Ord River, Pentecost River, Durack River, Forrest River and King River flowing into the gulf.

The panoramic view of the Gulf, Wyndham Port and mud flats is spectacular. Watch the sunset from this vantage point for a memorable experience, and do not forget to take your camera.

The waters of the gulf are a known crocodile habitat; however, they also offer exceptional fishing opportunities. Take a boat out into the gulf and reel in some delicious Barramundi for the evening feast.

The historic port town of Wyndham was established during the Halls Creek gold rush in 1885 and offers many attractions worth a visit. The town is split into two precincts; the historical old town site which sits on Cambridge Gulf and the residential area known as Wyndham East.

Wyndham is one hour drive from Kununurra. Kununurra is a three hour flight from Perth.
