All About
Cockburn Ranges Lookout
Highlights
See the majestic orange cliffs of Cockburn Range in the Kimberley on a four wheel driving trip along the Gibb River Road, between the Great Northern Highway and the Pentecost River. Imposing and spectacular views are also on offer from the highway into Wyndham. The Cockburn Range is shaped like a vast round fortress and rises more than 600 metres above the plains. From a distance, there’s no hint of the deep gorges and permanent pools which lie hidden within.
Cockburn Range sits entirely on land owned by El Questro Wilderness Park. El Questro offers trips to the range or there are other private bushwalking tours available. A scenic flight affords another amazing view. Cockburn Range is about a 1 hour drive from Kununurra in the Kimberley.
