Wyndham is the oldest and northernmost town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, located on the Great Northern Highway, 2,210 kilometres (1,373 mi) northeast of Perth. It was established in 1886 as a result of a gold rush at Halls Creek, and it is now a port and service centre for the east Kimberley with a population of 800. Wyndham is split into two areas. The original town site of Wyndham Port is situated on Cambridge Gulf, while Wyndham's Three Mile area is the residential and shopping area of the town. Wyndham is part of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley.© Wikipedia

We set out on a day trip from Kununurra to have a look at Wyndham and the surrounding area. First stop was the Five Rivers Lookout - The Bastion which located just outside Wyndham. From this vantage point at the lookout you can see where the Ord, King, Pentecost, Durack and Forrest Rivers run into the Cambridge Gulf. Huge mud flats can be seen from the lookout and the Daharwi (or Bastion) Range forms a beautiful backdrop.
We went to the historic Wyndham port and had barramundi for lunch at the old Wyndham Hotel - very fresh. Walked along Anthon's Landing Jetty that was opened in 2012 and was built as an all-tides structure to cater for the 8.7 metre tidal variances experienced in this part of Australia. Quite an amazing construction.
There is a huge crocodile statue, 20 metres long, located in the park on the main road. There are lots of things to see around Wyndham but be mindful that the days can be very hot.
