Tier Gorge
Australia / Kununurra, Western Australia
Location ID: #10083581
Tier Gorge Circuit is 43km east of EL Questro and is best visited on the way in from the east, but if you want to dot the ‘Is’ and cross the ‘Ts’ you should have your ELQ Wilderness Pass with you before you drive the Tier Gorge Circuit.
The Circuit runs through open woodland and crosses numerous stony creek beds on the way to Tier Gorge. This shallow Gorge was the site of the Research 2000 experiment, conducted by El Questro’s then owner, James Salerno. He and 65 other people set up camp there, with the aim of creating the perfect human society. All that remains are rusting relics of the camp kitchen area. This southern end of the Gorge houses a large swimming hole.
