Michell Falls
Mitchell Falls, a spectacular series of 4 falls, is the main natural attraction of the Mitchell Plateau region. It is accessed via the Mitchell Plateau Road that heads in a westerly direction off Kalumburu Road in the northern Kimberley. It takes at least two days driving or 15 hours to drive to Mitchell Plateau from the nearest town of Kununurra. Impossible during the wet season November to May, the unsealed road was made in 1954 to access the Mitchell Plateau for mining exploration that took place throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The highlight of the Mitchell Plateau is the stupendous Mitchell Falls that cascade over layers of rock into a deep pool. The return trek from the car park to the Falls can take 5 to 6 hours, so a full day should be allowed for the experience. Remnant rainforest and Livistonia palms grow tall on the rocky sides of the natural pool; the clear fresh water is an absolute oasis in the Kimberley outback. The main walk to the head of the Mitchell Falls is 5km one way, taking about 1½ hrs from the campground. The walk is not difficult, but quite long given that once you've made it there you have to turn around and come back. The camping is good
Free Camping
There are lots of places you can camp in Australia for free. Here are some tips. Don't stop close to a town on a Friday or Saturday night. Often the local lads seek to let off high spirits on these occasions. Showering. Use one of the black solar heated bush showers. Toilets carry a portapotti and maybe a toilet tent (cheap and can be used as a shower tent). Power sources. Use solar panels or a small cheap generator to charge your battery. Or use a gas/electric refrigerator . Whilst travelling, it is operating it on 12v supply and when stopped, switch to gas. A 4.5L gas bottle, used for both the refrigerator and for cooking, lasts about 15 days. Alternatively use a 12V fridge freezer and a small generator (often less than a $100) use the generator and a hefty battery charger to charge the battery for an hour a day if you are stationary. Clothes. Carry only clothes that do not need ironing. If it needs ironing, leave it home. Carry a 'dirty clothes bag', when it is full look for a Laundromat. Rubbish. Never leave your rubbish.

Mt Ragged
Mt Ragged is in Cape Arid National Park (120 km east of Esperance 279 832 hectares) is on the south-east coast of Western Australia. A remote area with beautiful beaches and crystal seascapes. The vegetation of the park has evolved from the need for the flora to conserve water. The wild life of the area, include bush wallabies and the usual array of nocturnal mammals. Mt Ragged is east of the old camel/coach route between Israelite Bay and Balladonia. There is camping at Mt Ragged. Height of only 593m but the surrounding country is quite flat apart from a few isolated hill, and it is a great day climb to the top . You can see the ocean (Israelite Bay) off to the east from the top on a clear day. There are lots of campsites along Israelite Bay. French Admiral D'Entrecasteaux named the cape "Cap Arride" in 1792, and the name was anglicised by Matthew Flinders in 1892. The park was subsequently named after this feature.
Gammon Ranges
Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park lies approximately 750 km to the north of Adelaide and 110 km from Leigh Creek. The Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park comprises arid wilderness with rugged, spectacular scenery, interesting wildlife and a wealth of Adnyamathanha Aboriginal culture and European heritage. The Gammon ranges is a great bushwalking destination having only been first crossed by Warren Bonython in the late 1940s. The bushwalking is very rugged, and its extremely remote. There can be very limited water (depending on the weather in the weeks or months before). The weather can be very warm, and bushwalking is only suitable in the coolest months of the year May,June, July and August. You can rent a Cottage at Grindalls Hut.There is one track through the park, and the mainroad from Leigh Creek to Balconnona running along the southern edge of the park The the Yankaninna-Yadnina-Balcanoona track, is 4WD, but in good weather is possibel for a careful 2WD driver. It winds its way through the centre of the park past Grindalls Hut and Lochnesswell. This track will take you through some of the most spectacular scenery and along the way there are plenty of places which make great bush camping spots.
