Make sure you pack a powerful torch or headlamp with fresh batteries so you can find your way through the tunnel as well as be able to see all the impressive stalactites overhead.
The tunnel is also home to a few freshwater crocodiles, and while relatively safe and harmless, keep an eye out where you step! Dimalurru Tunnel Creek is well known for being the hideout of Jandamarra, a Bunuba leader. Jandamarra became a police tracker, but went on the run after he shot a police officer to free members of his own family who had been captured. On the run for three years, he led a resistance against authorities and fought to defend his country.
So I guess that's what I saw, too. It's really nice to come out on the other side of the range. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the creek is murmuring Sure, they were doing all that before as well, but you seem to enjoy it a lot more after having spent some time in the cool dark tunnel. Which you then have to wade through once more. There is no path over the top of the range, only under. All in all this is a fantastic little trip and great fun. Whenever I get a chance to talk to travellers who have done the big once around the Kimberley trip I ask what they enjoyed most.

Don't believe me? The cave features many beautiful formations, including stalactites and stalagmites, and is also home to a variety of bats, olive pythons and freshwater crocodiles. To experience the cave, take a reliable torch, wear old sneakers and be prepared to get wet — the water is mainly just over knee height but can be higher. Dimalurru Tunnel Creek is a site of cultural significance for the local Bunuba people, and you can visit the cave system with a cultural guide to gain insight on the spiritual significance of the area.
