About 35km southeast of Windjana Gorge along the Fairfield Windjana Road and some 180km from Derby lies Tunnel Creek. Recently made into a National Park providing an opportunity to see the ancient Devonian reef fossils underground, visitors can wade through the icy waters of Tunnel Creek and along the 750m-long tunnel it has created from one side of the Napier Range to the other.
Tunnel Creek is part of the brave history of the Aboriginal people at the time of European settlement in the 1890s. Jandamarra, a heroic freedom fighter, used the caves and the Napier Range as hideouts from police.
