The park was named after Sir Archibald Geikie, who never visited it even once. He was the Director General of Geological Survey for Great Britain and Ireland in 1883 when the park was named. The original inhabitants however, the Bunaba people, would prefer it be called by its original Aboriginal title. They call it Darngku. The Geikie Gorge National Park is a place rich in history and Aboriginal culture.
Geikie Gorge was created when the Fitzroy River eroded a deep, narrow passage into the limestone. It is 30 meters deep! The multi-colored walls and cliffs are what is left over from ancient barrier reefs. These barrier reefs existed during the Devonian period millions of years ago, and layers of fossils are visible in the limestone. During the wet season the Fitzroy River floods, and water covers the entire park. The 16-meters-high flood waters have bleached the bottom layer of the Gorge's walls a bright white.
The fresh water of the Fitzroy River is home to many fish, including sawfish and stingrays. Freshwater crocodiles also call the river home. Aside from the wildlife in the water, many other birds and animals can be found at the Geikie Gorge.
Tourists should take note that Geikie Gorge National Park is open during the daytime only. Therefore, camping is not allowed. However, swimming is allowed, and the crocodiles are considered nonthreatening as long as they are not bothered.
