Cape Range National Park, Nature reserve in Western Australia, Australia
Description
Cape Range National Park spreads across limestone ridges, deep gorges, and coastal plains along Western Australia's Coral Coast. This reserve features red rock formations meeting turquoise waters, with diverse wildlife inhabiting both inland and seaside zones.
History
The North West Cape received its name in 1818 when Captain Phillip Parker King explored the coast during his voyage. European settlement began decades later, reshaping the human presence along these shores over time.
Culture
The land holds profound meaning for the Kumbanyumari Aboriginal people, whose connection to this country spans countless generations. Visitors walking through the park encounter places that remain important to Indigenous communities today.
Practical
A car is essential for exploring the park, as many routes are unpaved and require careful driving through remote terrain. Stock up on water and supplies before arriving, as amenities are limited within the reserve itself.
Did you know?
Yardie Creek cuts through the landscape as a permanent saltwater gorge shaped by tidal flows. Crossing it by vehicle is an unusual experience that depends on water levels and tidal conditions.
