Fitzroy River

The Fitzroy River, stretching 455 miles (733 kilometers) through Western Australia, holds significant cultural importance for the local Aboriginal people. Originating in the rugged Kimberley region, the river flows past some of the area’s most striking natural features, including the Geikie, Diamond, and Sir John gorges. The outback town of Fitzroy Crossing, a key stop along the river, serves as a gateway to Tunnel Creek and Windjana Gorge national parks. Visitors can explore the river’s scenic landscapes, from the deep, winding gorges to the vibrant ecosystems that thrive along its banks.
