Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had some spare time so decided on our way through Halls Creek that we would do the China Wall.Not far out of town down Duncan Rd.Open the gate and then close it on your way through.There is some water at the base of the wall which was pretty and the rock formations of the wall are worth the visit.Free to visit and worth it

Beautiful view of the China Wall. We drove out from Halls Creek Information Centre at 4.30pm. Great time to view the wall as the sun was shining directly on the wall. Only 6km out of town.

The turnoff for the China Wall in Halls Creek was right behind our motel where we stayed so it was easy to access down the and check it out. The wall itself is supremely cool! It’s a quartz spine pushing out of the earth so you know you don’t see that every day. The track to the wall is an easy drive in any vehicle type but the land is privately owned so be sure to close the gate properly behind you as a courtesy to the owners. The wall looks like it could be part of the western end of the Great Wall of China, like it used to be grand but fell into disrepair, but even cooler than old falling down structures is the fact that this is a natural formation.

The road into this attraction is private, so it is great that the owner of the property allows the public to access the site, however it is poorly maintained & NOT suitable for two wheel drives! We had to turn back & got bogged in the sand. Take plenty of water in case you are there for some time trying to get out.

Just out of town on a private property there's what they call the China Wall, this is a quartz spine that hundreds of years ago was pushed through the earth's crust and it does resemble the Great China wall. You don't need a 4 wheel drive and if you are really energetic you can walk to it, it's only 6 klms from town.The owners of the property just ask people to make sure the gate into the place is closed at all times but this is nothing compared to the sight of this wall.If you feel like going further down the main road there's the Caroline pool and this is an oasis in the middle of the desert, the road into this place is dirt but fairly good and a 4 wheel drive would do it easily but I am not sure about a normal car, even though they say you can drive it in a sedan. I wouldn't.

Could easily think it was built by the Chinese! A vein of white quartz rising above the surrounding hill side as if it was some unfinished or partly destroyed wall!
Easily accessible and a little gem to be seen when in Halls Creek.

This phenomenon is about the only thing worth seeing in Halls creek. An outcrop of quartz in red rock that looks like it was built but is a natural land mass evolution. On private land but free to see just shut the gate on entry and exit

Just a short drive out of town and a small dirt section suitable for all vehicles. An amazing sight as you come into the car park area, you would mistake it for China ! These bands of white quartz running through the red rock strata look great as they disappear into the distance. A natural beauty and free to visit, just take your rubbish with you & close the Gate, Thanks !

My work calls upon me to visit Halls Creek, on a monthly basis and I never fail to drive up to China Wall to view the lovely white quartz wall. Always worth a few photos and a great destination for any tourist. Approximately 5km from Halls Creek town. The track is suitable for even 2WD vehicles, but the road to the site is sealed and in very good condition. There is a gate that needs to be opened/closed to prevent cattle walking through. Thoroughly recommended!

So called “China Walls” are not particularly rare around the world but always interesting to see. This one runs for several kms and stands very proud above the surrounding rocks. I think it is caused as follows, Mother Nature has a rock several kms underground that has big and small cracks in it. A hot solution of water with silica dissolved in it infiltrated the cracks. As MN pushed the rock up towards the surface it cools and the silica forms crystals as the water evaporates. What is left is a vein of white quartz crystals on the surface as the surrounding rock (sandstone) crumbles away.
