Geikie Gorge National Park
Facts and practical information
Danggu Gorge National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 1,837 kilometres northeast of Perth and approximately 420 km east of Broome by road. The gorge was originally named in honour of Sir Archibald Geikie, the Director General of Geological Survey for Great Britain and Ireland when it was given its European name in 1883. Sir Archibald never visited the gorge and the National Park is progressively being officially changed to the Bunuba traditional owners name of Danggu. It is part of the Balili Conservation Park. ()
