Millstream Chichester National Park

The protected area spans 2,381 square kilometers of desert landscape, featuring permanent springs, open pools, and red plains covered with spinifex grass.

Explorer Francis Thomas Gregory named Millstream Creek in 1861, leading to the establishment of the first pastoral lease in 1865 for sheep and cattle grazing.

The Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma people maintain deep connections to this land, particularly at Deep Reach Pool, which holds spiritual significance in their traditions.

The park provides camping facilities at Miliyanha and Stargazers grounds, with basic amenities for tents and caravans, requiring visitors to bring sufficient water supplies.

The Millstream aquifer system within the park functions as the primary drinking water source for multiple towns across the Pilbara region.
