Keep River National Park - Gurrandalng Bushwalk

Before leaving the Northern Territory we spent two days at Keep River National Park located 3 km east of the NT/WA border. This National Park is noted for its striking landforms. Our camp site was situated at the start of a loop around the Gurrandalng sandstone escarpments. We walked around, over, up and down the escarpments. Evidence of volcanic activity, massive marine deposits and glaciation are visible in the rocks and landforms. The views and formations are stunning and change colour depending on the time of day. Walkers are encouraged to walk anti-clockwise in the early morning and clockwise in the latter part of the day.






We walked through woodlands until we passed between these two escarpments where we started our journey around the formations







These formations look quite comical












On looking through this natural window you overlooked a valley with more escarpments in the distance










This is where we climbed to look at the view through the window












Below is a selection of photos we took as we continued on our walk through this beautiful area - so much to see and capture on film
