The Bastion Range forms the backdrop to Wyndham, with the Five Rivers Lookout located at its highest point of 360 metres. The local Aboriginal name for the range is the Dahdarwi Range.
The lookout provides spectacular views of the five rivers; the Ord, Forest, King, Durack and Pentecost Rivers; which enter the Cambridge Gulf and surrounding mangrove swamps, mudflats and hills. The historic Wyndham Port and meatworks can also be seen from the lookout.
The best views can be seen before 1000 due to the haze.
In the early evening as the sun sinks slowly over the gulf and the waters are ablaze with colour, the lookout provides a startling contrast to the rugged rock below.
When the winds are favourable the Bastion is also the launch site for hang gliding enthusiasts.
