Western Australia
Kennedy Range National ParkTake a four-wheel-drive adventure or go camping under the stars, there's bushwalking, beautiful gorges and sandstone cliffs, wildlife, and classic outback landscapes to capture on film.The beautiful gorges and red rock landscape of Kennedy Range National Park are about a 2-hour drive east of Carnarvon. Perfect for a four-wheel-drive adventure, Kennedy Range National Park is the place to go camping under a star-filled night sky where you're surrounded by pristine wilderness. Go bushwalking and explore gorges and sandstone cliffs, see native animals, birds and look out over the vast plains of pastoral leases.
Rising to 100 metres above the valley, the Kennedy Range plateau has dominated the surrounding plains for millions of years. With red dunes, Spinifex, Wattle and Mallee trees scattered throughout the area, this is what the Aussie outback is all about. Bushwalking trails run from the northern visitor site and camping area and take you into gorges where you'll see honeycomb-like rock formations.
The best time to visit is late autumn and early spring. From Perth, it's a 2-day drive to the Kennedy Range National Park. Camping in Western Australia's natural areas is a special experience. Selected campgrounds from across the state are now bookable online for a trial period.
