Wolfe Creek Crater
Wolfe Creek Crater National Park is a remarkable destination with a unique blend of natural and cultural significance. Discovered by Europeans in 1947, the crater, known as Kandimalal to Aboriginal people, is steeped in stories of rainbow snakes creating the nearby creeks. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the crater rim with a 400-meter return walk, though climbing into the crater is not permitted due to dangerous terrain. For an unforgettable experience, consider an aerial flight from Halls Creek. The park is home to brown ringtail dragons and noisy Major Mitchell cockatoos. The best time to visit is from May to October when the weather is ideal. Access is via gravel roads, usually suitable for conventional vehicles during the dry season. The park features a free camping area with cleared sites and toilets, but no water or bins are available, so come prepared and take your rubbish with you. Wolfe Creek Crater is about a 2-3 hour drive from Halls Creek.
