Collier Range National Park
AU
National Park·Rugged, Remote, Untamed
Collier Range National Park is a vast, remote wilderness situated in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Established in 1978, the park features a dramatic landscape of low hills, high ridges, and steep cliffs that define the rugged beauty of the outback. Its unique ecosystem supports a variety of vegetation, including spinifex, mulga scrub, and mulla mulla, with eucalypts lining the creeklines. The park serves as a vital refuge for several threatened species, most notably the Pilbara Pebble-Mound Mouse, the greater bilby, and the mulgara. Due to its isolated location and limited infrastructure, it remains a destination for those seeking a true, unmanaged outback experience far from the beaten path.
