Drysdale River National Park

Drysdale River National Park is a vast, remote wilderness national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, within the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley. Covering approximately 448,000 hectares around the Drysdale River catchment, it protects rugged sandstone plateaus, gorges, waterfalls and open woodland. Established in 1974, it is notable for its pristine, largely inaccessible landscape, high biodiversity and Aboriginal cultural heritage, with no roads or visitor facilities.

Visitors can expect an extremely remote and undeveloped wilderness with no roads, tracks, visitor facilities or marked trails. The landscape comprises open woodland, rugged sandstone plateaus, deep gorges and the Drysdale River system including waterfalls such as Morgan Falls. Access is only by helicopter or light aircraft charter and requires advanced remote-area experience and self-sufficiency. There are no lookouts, campgrounds with amenities or visitor centres; exploration is limited to bushwalking and nature observation in a pristine natural environment.
