Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Cape Range National Park, located on the North West Cape of Western Australia, spans over 119,000 hectares and is renowned for its rugged landscapes, deep canyons, and stunning coastal vistas. The park is characterized by its rocky limestone ranges and breathtaking gorges such as Yardie Creek with its steep, colorful walls. The terrain provides a unique habitat for a variety of wildlife including the iconic red kangaroo and the endangered black-footed rock wallaby.
Besides its land-based attractions, the park's proximity to Ningaloo Reef adds a unique opportunity for marine exploration. Visitors can experience both land and sea adventures, from hiking the gorge trails to snorkeling in the turquoise waters teeming with marine life.
Established in 1964, Cape Range's history is linked to the rich cultural traditions of the Yinigudura people who have long inhabited the area. Today, Cape Range National Park draws visitors for its mesmerizing natural beauty, diverse ecosystems, and opportunities for outdoor recreation, offering a perfect destination for hiking, wildlife observation, and marine adventures.
