Rock Art sites in North Western Australia. Drysdale River National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 2,168 kilometres northeast of Perth.
The park lies about 100 km south of Kalumburu and 150 km west of Wyndham.
The park is the largest and least accessible in the Kimberley with no public road leading to it and no airstrip within its boundaries. Access to the park is gained via the track from Carson River Station from the Kalumburu Road. Permission must be obtained from the Kalumburu Aboriginal Corporation prior to entering the park. There are no visitor facilities or marked walk trails in the park. Rangers do not patrol the park and no food, fuel or mechanical services exist within the park or at Carson River Station.
The park is a good example of untouched Kimberley wilderness featuring open woodland, gorges, cliffs and the pools, waterfalls and creeks of the Drysdale River. The park is home to two large waterfalls: Morgan Falls and Solea Falls with numerous smaller falls along the course of the river.
