Ivanhoe Crossing
A low causeway on the Ord River, where water pours over a concrete weir and forms white rapids. It is a popular photo spot near the town.
Ivanhoe Crossing lies about 12 km north of Kununurra, where the Ord River flows across a low concrete causeway. The water spreads into a broad white sheet, framed by green riverside forest, making for a distinctive scene. Saltwater crocodiles live here, so swimming is strictly forbidden. Do not linger on the causeway or the riverbank, and note that vehicles are no longer allowed to drive across the causeway. It is a convenient stop for a sunset photo on the way, and it can be combined with the distillery and farms north of town.
