Halls Creek

OLD HALLS CREEK is along the Duncan Road which takes you the back way to Kununurra on the fringe of the Tanami Desert. The town was moved 16kms to it's present location on The Great Northern Highway several years ago. The old Halls Creek is a much more picturesque spot in the Albert Edward Ranges.

CHINA WALL is a ridge of quartz up to 6 metres high, just a few kilometres out of town. 

                                        

PALM SPRINGS is like an oasis along the dusty road. When the area had it's gold boom in 1885 around here were market gardens providing for the area.

SAWPIT GORGE, easy access into the rock pool where the Black Elvire River has carved a way through the rocky ridge.

SAWPIT GORGE ROCKPOOL

CAROLINE POOL a natural waterhole with shady banks and the eucalypts were home to a family of black cockatoos.
