Many of the North West’s incredible natural attractions are located in the spectacular surroundings of our National Parks, including the ancient gorges and waterways of Karijini, the imposing striped domes of the Bungles and the incredible three-tiered Mitchell Falls. These are some of the world’s most amazing untouched wilderness areas, giving you a real Australian outback experience.

Caring for our National Parks
To help preserve these unique natural environments, avoid the use of sunscreen when planning to swim in gorge- and river-pools as it can be harmful to wildlife. Spinifex is fragile so please use the paths provided and do not make new tracks. Many sites in national parks have significance to Aboriginal people. Please do not interfere with cultural sites. Pets and firearms are not permitted in national parks. Please take all rubbish away with you.
When you are travelling through remote areas, advise the local park ranger, check information about track closures, and always pay close attention to road and weather conditions when driving.
