National Park·Remote, Untouched, Significant
Warlibirri National Park is a significant protected area located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, following the path of the Margaret River east of Fitzroy Crossing. Established in 2021, the park is situated on the traditional lands of the Gooniyandi people and is jointly managed by the Gooniyandi Aboriginal Corporation and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The name 'Warlibirri' is the Gooniyandi word for river, reflecting the park's primary focus on protecting the river valley from environmental threats like mining and damming. It spans the Central Kimberley and Dampierland bioregions, offering a vital sanctuary for local flora and fauna. As part of a larger conservation vision, it is intended to eventually connect with other nearby protected areas like Geikie Gorge.
