Wyndham and the Cambridge Gulf_0448
For a brief period in the late 1800’s Wyndham was a thriving boom town but any glory it may once have had has long since departed. It is now no more than a small, desolate and declining township on the remote north coast of Western Australia. Sitting on the edge of the Cambridge Gulf, it is surrounded by a seemingly endless expanse of dreary tidal mudflats and mangroves. Yet when viewed from the Five Rivers Lookout—perched high above the town on the edge of the Erskine Range—some of the mudflats can have their own particular beauty. The view here looks north along the West Arm of the Gulf toward the low but rugged coastal ranges.
The five rivers from which the lookout takes its name are the Forrest, the Durack, The Pentecost and the King, all of which empty into the West Arm of the Gulf, and the Ord which opens into the East Arm.
