Overview

About

Embark on a journey through time at Tunnel Creek National Park, where the ancient limestone caves beckon adventurers to explore their depths. Traverse the subterranean waterways, marvel at the stalactites, and keep an eye out for the local wildlife that calls this place home. Above ground, the rugged landscape offers scenic walks and the chance to immerse yourself in the park's rich Aboriginal cultural heritage.

When to go

The best time to visit Tunnel Creek National Park is during the dry season, from May to September, when the weather is milder and the water levels are low, allowing easier access to the caves. The wet season, from November to March, can see heavy rainfall and potential flooding, making some areas inaccessible.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have sturdy footwear for navigating the rocky terrain within the caves.
  • Check the park's website for any seasonal closures or safety alerts before your visit.
  • Bring a torch to illuminate the darker sections of the caves as you explore.
  • Respect the park's cultural significance by adhering to guidelines around sacred sites.
  • Remember to carry sufficient water and snacks, as there are limited facilities available.
