 Description of Wyndham

Wyndham is a small coastal town established in 1886 on the tidal banks of the Cambridge Gulf. Flanked by the impressive Bastion Range, Wyndham lies at the confluence of five rivers – Ord, Forrest, King, Durack and Pentecost, all which enter the Cambridge Gulf and surrounding mangrove swamps, mudflats and hills.

Main attractions include the Five Rivers Lookout, Parry's Bird Sanctuary, and the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park.
