RV TRAVEL
Keep River National Park is one of the NT’s
best-kept secrets, with its striking sandstone
formations, diverse landscapes and
indigenous rock art. Being so close to
Kununurra and Lake Argyle, a day trip can
easily be entertained. The two campgrounds,
however, provide the perfect base to fully
enjoy the magnificent walks on offer.

ARRIVING AT KEEP RIVER
It was very late in the season during my visit
to Keep River. It was hot, dry and dusty, but
suffering a little bit of pain brought a
multitude of rewards.

Crossing the border into the NT and adjusting
the watch, a little time was lost in an instant.
Within three kilometres, the turn-off had been
reached and the gravel road led me into an
ancient landscape.
The first stop was the ranger station at
Cockatoo Lagoon but this was croc country,
so swimming was not permitted. The
information boards inside the ranger station
provided insight on how to get the most out of
the Keep River National Park. There are picnic
facilities near the lagoon, which is also a great
spot for birdwatching.
