About the Port
Wyndham sits at the edge of Cambridge Gulf in Western Australia's far northern Kimberley region, one of the country's most remote and sparsely populated corners. The small town, marked by hardy boab trees and a giant crocodile statue at its entrance, serves as a gateway to the dramatic landscapes beyond, where sandstone ranges, tidal flats, and saltwater crocodiles define the terrain.
Above the town, the Five Rivers Lookout on Mount Bastion offers sweeping views over the confluence of the Ord, King, Pentecost, Durack, and Forrest rivers as they empty into the gulf, a striking introduction to the scale of the Kimberley. Wyndham's port serves as a practical starting point for excursions into this rugged interior, and travelers with limited mobility should note that many of the region's best views require a short but steep climb.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Wyndham.
Climb to Five Rivers Lookout
A short, steep drive or walk up Mount Bastion rewards with one of Australia's most dramatic panoramas, five rivers converging into Cambridge Gulf. Best visited early morning or late afternoon for softer light and cooler air.
Spot Saltwater Crocodiles
Cambridge Gulf and its tidal flats harbor some of the largest saltwater crocodiles in Australia. A guided river cruise offers the safest, closest look at these ancient predators in their natural habitat.
Wander the Historic Town Site
Stroll past century-old boab trees and weathered buildings that recall Wyndham's pioneer port days, including old wharves and heritage structures. The compact layout makes for an easy, unhurried walk before heading into the outback beyond.
