Mitchell River
National Park |
|
For outback scenery and Aboriginal culture, Mitchell River National Park is among the best in Australia.
Here you can see spectacular landscapes including the Mitchell Plateau and the thundering Mitchell Falls. In full flood, the Mitchell Falls are an amazing sight. A bushwalking track leads to the falls where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the water. Take a plane or chopper ride over the falls and you'll feel all of their majestic power. |

The Mitchell Plateau abounds in wildlife and plants. There's rainforest, open woodlands of gum trees, and watercourses lined by pandanus palms and paperbark trees.
Mitchell Plateau harbours a huge variety of wildlife including mammals, an abundance of birds, saltwater crocodiles and snakes.
The Mitchell River National Park is also home to other beautiful terrain including Merton Falls, Surveyors Pool, the Mitchell and King Edward Rivers. The area is home to many ancient rock art sites, most of which have remained untouched for thousands of years.
Accommodation-wise, there are basic camping facilities throughout the park. |
