Mitchell Falls are quite the adventure! They are the most remote waterfalls reachable by land in Australia and it took 4/5 hours to reach them from the main Gibb River road.

The road starts at Drysdale Station and it is badly corrugated and can only be done with a 4WD during the dry season! Our battery stopped working from overheating doing this road and also had to help another car jump-starting theirs and heard from people who had multiple flat tyres or damaged their car too, so be prepared!

You need to pay a specific pass to enter the Mitchell Region called Uunguu Visitor Pass (linked below) which can be purchased online ONLY and it's 50$pp.

The walk to the waterfall is 8.6km return from the campground, grade 5, around 2 hours each way. It only took us 1 hour each way though, because we left very early in the morning to avoid the heat.

Photo tip: for the best views of the Falls don't stop at the end of the walk. You'll see the helicopter landing point, walk past it and you'll see a path leading to some rocks, the best viewing spot is just behind them.
