GEIKIE GORGE #5

Geikie Gorge is named after Sir Archibald Geikie (Director General of Geological Survey for Great Britain and Ireland in 1883).

The Bunaba people are the traditional owners of the gorge and call Darngku. “A blind Aboriginal elder drowned in the 'Dreaming', after leaving his tribe to go wandering. The old man sighed and sneezed before he sank to the bottom for the last time. It's said his sighs can still be heard when the gorge is quiet.” (http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/component/option,com_hotproperty/task,view/id,43/Itemid,755/)

A boat tour is an excellent way to look at the surroundings and also learn about the gorge and the Bunaba people.
