Mitchell Plateau
Mitchell Plateau in the far north Kimberley is the remains of an elevated laterite-capped plain, bordered by sandstone, in which the Mitchell River has carved spectacular gorges.
The landscape around the plateau varies from mangroves and swamps, to woodlands and lush rainforest patches, accounting for the rich diversity of the wildlife.
The Mitchell Plateau is accessed via the 4-wheel-drive-only Mitchell Plateau track from Kalumburu Road, 172 kms north of the Gibb River Road junction.
