Things to do in Kununurra

Elephant Rock (Sleeping Buddha)
This large rock formation is easily seen from the banks of Lily Creek (in Kununurra) and is named due to two unique rock features. From one angle, it appears as Buddha in repose and from a southern angle (Packsaddle area), an elephant's head is definable!
