Drysdale River National Park, Nature reserve in Kimberley region, Australia.
The Drysdale River National Park extends across 4,482 square kilometers of wilderness, containing open woodlands, gorges, cliffs, and numerous waterfalls.
Surveyor Charles Burrowes first documented the area in 1886, naming the river after Thomas Andrew Drysdale, director of the Victorian Squatting Company.
Indigenous Australian art, known as Bradshaw paintings, decorates the cliff faces along permanent pools of the Drysdale River within the park boundaries.
The park requires entry permits from Parks and Wildlife Kununurra Office, with access restricted between January and May due to prescribed burning operations.
The national park contains Morgan Falls and Solea Falls, along with 600 plant species, including 30 aquatic varieties inhabiting permanent river pools.
