Exmouth - Cape Range National Park
 Yardie Creek Gorge Trail

Back

Notes:

It's a long drive to Yardie Creek from our Exmouth caravan park, so we stopped off at the Lighthouse lookout on the way and also the beach nearby.  At Yardie Creek we initially took the easy, well defined and well made nature Walk and then at the end transferred to the gorge Walk.  This part of the Walk is rough and rocky with ill defined paths at times and stops when you get to the top of the gorge cliff face where you retrace your steps back to the car park. From there we took a stroll on the Yardie-Ningaloo Road, a sand track which crosses the Yardie Creek via a sand bar which is revealed at low tides only.  We then travelled on to do the Mandu Mandu Gorge Walk.
