Warlibirri National Park is a national park in the Kimberley regionofWestern Australia, stretching along the Margaret River east of Fitzroy Crossing. It was declared on 22 September 2021, is located in the Shires of Derby-West Kimberley and Halls Creek, and is part of the Central Kimberley and Dampierland bioregions.[1][2]
The national park is located on the traditional land of the Gooniyandi people and is jointly managed by the Gooniyandi Aboriginal Corporation and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[3]
The national park is named after the word Gooniyandi for river, Warlibirri. The creation of national park was seen as a step towards protecting the river valley from mining and damming the river and additional national parks connecting Warlibirri with Geikie Gorge and Danggu Gorge National Park were planned.[4]
