Winding its way through the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Mitchell River offers an ideal habitat for an extraordinary diversity of wildlife including 50 species of mammal, 220 species of bird, and over 86 species of amphibians and reptiles. This large, perennial river and its naturally beautiful surrounds are protected by the impressive Mitchell River National Park, which features a number of exquisite waterfalls and gorges carved into the layered sandstone of the Mitchell Plateau. Visitors can look forward to: canoeing or rafting through the tranquil pools and turbulent rapids down to the Gippsland Lakes; marvelling at the spectacular three-tiered Mitchell Falls; swimming in the refreshing Surveyors Pool; and exploring countless Aboriginal rock art sites and areas of cultural significance to the indigenous Wunambal people.
