Mitchell River National Park

Mitchell River National Park is a remote wilderness park on the Mitchell Plateau in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, within the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley. Covering about 1,150 square kilometres, it is renowned for the four-tiered Mitchell Falls (Punamii-Uunpuu), extensive Livistona palm forests, and significant Aboriginal rock art. Jointly managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and Wunambal Gaambera Traditional Owners, it offers rugged gorges, waterfalls and cultural landscapes accessible only in the dry season.

Visitors can expect a remote, rugged wilderness with dramatic sandstone gorges, waterfalls, and tropical savanna. The main focus is the four-tiered Mitchell Falls (Punamii-Uunpuu) with lookouts and walking trails, plus nearby Mertens Falls and Surveyors Pool. The landscape features Livistona palm forests, permanent pools, and Aboriginal rock art sites. Access is via unsealed 4WD tracks and walking trails; facilities are basic with designated campgrounds, lookouts and marked trails. Helicopter scenic flights are commonly used to view the falls.
