Two of northern Western Australia's most popular national parks will not reopen this year due to flooding, dealing another blow to tourism operators in the Kimberley.
Bandilngan Windjana Gorge Nationalwere damaged in the impact. “We're still waiting for waters to recede, but parts of the walk trail into the gorge have washed away and there's been significant damage to the banks. There's been half a metre of water through the ranger quarters and mud through the buildings,” said Craig Olejnik from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
