Imagine a place in Western Australia where lush tropical palms dominate the landscape. Imagine spell-binding gorges and huge waterfalls etched into the blocky, layered sandstone. Now stop imagining because this place exists and it's Mitchell River National Park.
The park has lots to explore. There are fabulous examples of Aboriginal rock art to discover. Mitchell Falls must be the natural highlight. The track to Mitchell Falls starts at Mertens Creek and the adjacent Mitchell Falls Campground. From here you can walk to Little Mertens Falls, Mertens Gorge and Mitchell Falls. Alternatively take a scenic flight to these attractions from the campground. It's all picturesque and marvellous.
Such a remote and stunning place wouldn't be what it is if it was easy to get to. It's not, but that's all part of the adventure! You'll need a fully equipped four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle and be confident in off-road driving to get there.
