Tunnel Creek National Park covers 91 hectares, however access is limited to this small
day use area with facilities limited to
toilets and an
information shelter. Located 35km south of
Windjana Gorge, the
Tunnel Cave is the main attraction, and is Western Australia's oldest
cave system. This underground cave/tunnel has been eroded beneath the
limestone range by Tunnel Creek and is about 750m long and up to 12m high, although in some sections it is as low as 3m.
A
carpark is located at this point just off the Fairfield-Leopold Downs Rd, and Tunnel Creek lies within the
Tunnel Cave located just a few metres away.
During the dry season, this
day use area is enjoyed by visitors walking through the tunnel for 750m to the other side of
Napier Range, wading through pools of water using torch light in the dark
cave for navigation and watching for bats and marvelling at stalactites that descend from the roof in many
places. Some aboriginal painting can also be spotted just inside the
cave entrance on the
cave ceiling.
