Tunnel Creek National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 1,845 kilometres (1,146 mi) northeast of Perth and 390 km (240 mi) east of Broome. The natural cave through which Tunnel Creek flows is a major attraction of the park.
Many aboriginal rock paintings and speleothems are present in the cave decorating the walls. The cave was the hideout of the aboriginal warrior, Jandamarra who was killed outside the entrance of the cave in 1897.
