Recharge your spirit AN OAS I S IN THE OUTBACK MILLSTREAM CHICHESTER NATIONAL PARK • The Millstream Chichester area is culturally significant to the Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma Aboriginal people, with Millstream being the home of the mythological Warlu serpent whose presence is still strongly felt at Nhanggnagunha (Deep Reach Pool). • Once a pastoral station, the homestead built in 1919 is open to the public for viewing. • Deep Reach Pool in Millstream is sacred to the Yindjibrandi people and is an ideal place for peaceful reflection and tranquil swim. Python Pool in Chichester rewards visitors with its amphitheatre-like cliffs and permanent freshwater plunge pool. Millstream Chichester National Park is nestled within the Chichester Range, blanketed in spinifex and snappy gums. Permanent pools fed by the natural underground reserve provide a lush retreat in the Millstream wetlands and Fortescue River pools. TRAILS Chichester Range Camel Trail was once used by camel and bullock teams. This trail is 8km one way and is moderately difficult, with some steep slopes, natural obstacles and loose rocks. Homestead Trail is a gentle trail at only 750m long. Start at the historic Millstream Station homestead for a walk through towering paperbark trees, introduced date palms and pools of freshwater. Camping is available at Miliyanha Campground year round, and seasonally at Stargazers Campground in Millstream, both accessible by 2WD. Online bookings are essential via parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au/park-stay. Park entry fees apply via a day pass, multi-day options, or annual pass.
