Mitchell River National Park

Mitchell River National Park extends across 1,150 square kilometers of terrain, featuring Mitchell Falls and Surveyors Pool in Western Australia.

European explorers reached the area in 1921 and named the Mitchell River after James Mitchell, the Premier of Western Australia at that time.

The Wunambal people maintain deep connections to this land, receiving formal native title recognition in 2011 through the Uunguu Indigenous Protected Area establishment.

The national park requires four-wheel drive vehicles for access via Mitchell Plateau track, while an operational airstrip provides alternative transportation options.

The park contains over 50 mammal species, including the monjon rock wallaby, 220 bird species, and multiple endemic plant varieties in its tropical environment.
