Yardie Creek Gorge

West Coast Australia


Two walking trails give access to excellent views above this water-filled gorge: the gentle Nature Walk is 1.2km return, or the longer, steeper trail is 2km return and takes you high above the creek. There's also the option of a more relaxing boat tour.

Yardie Creek is 50km from the park entry (and accessible to all vehicles).
