Starting from the car park at the end of Geike Gorge Road, this walk offers you views of the gorge walls and a chance to see the wildlife in the area. The sheer grey and white gorge walls are an important attraction in the park, and the rock formations are present through the walk. It is even possible to see fossils on the walls. There is also interpretive signage about them at certain places. Additionally, you can enjoy the views of the Fitzroy River, the limestone reef outcrops shaped by seasonal flooding, as you traverse along the shoreline on the sand trail. If you feel like it, there is an hour cruise for visitors to explore the area. Fitzroy River is known to have fresh crocodiles, and saltwater crocs have got into the area in the past; swimming is not recommended. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
