Ord River and Lake Argyle
One of the most splendid river systems on the planet! The Ord River has been dammed to create Lake Argyle, an inland sea at 812 sq/km. The lake has attracted thousands of species of native Australian birds and wildlife and is surrounded by vividly coloured red cliffs up to 150m in height
Ivanhoe Crossing
Once part of the major route to Wyndham and now a favourite fishing spot for locals. The road crosses the Ord River but is flooded over. Water pours over the edge which creates the ideal environment for the Baramundi fish, growing up to a metre long and puts up fierce resistance
Mirima National Park
Commonly known as Hidden Valley and located directly adjacent to the town. Treks to the top of the many granite peaks will reveal a spectacular view of the lush landscape. The rocks are vividly coloured with red and black layers, a result of a billion years of natural mountain building
The Grotto
Located a few kilometres west of Kununurra is a small canyon named The Grotto. Many waterfalls run into this canyon which contains a safe and natural swimming hole at the bottom. Swim safely over to the thundering cascades for the most natural and clean shower you can imagine
