Mt Elizabeth Station is about as close to the heart of the Kimberley region in Western Australia as you can get. Located halfway between Kununurra and Derby on the iconic Gibb River Road, Mt Elizabeth is a half-million acre, fully operational cattle station that also welcomes guests. Join us at MtE on your journey through the Kimberley. We offer accommodation, camping, delicious meals, and authentic station life. MtE is owned and operated by the Burton family, who have been Kimberley pastoralists for over thirty years. MtE runs approximately 6000 head of cattle for the family business, the Burton Beef Company, which supplies delicious Kimberley beef to the local area. Our beef is the highlight for dinner when you stay with us at MtE. With fantastic Kimberley history and all the excitement of a working cattle station, the Burton family welcomes you to enjoy their slice of the Kimberley.

Wunnamurra Gorge
Wunnamurra Gorge boasts the majesty and beauty the Kimberley is renowned for. Located approximately 12 km from the Mt Elizabeth homestead, the track to Wunnamurra is extreme 4WD and will take approximately an hour. If you are an avid 4x4 enthusiast this is the track for you, testing your low-range skills. Once you are at the parking area there is a 20–30 min walk into the gorge. Follow the white-painted rocks from the parking area to the river, turn left and follow the water down stream to arrive at Wunnamurra. Enjoy the breathtaking view at the top lookout where you can take in the scenery and relax in the flowing water holes. Then descend into the gorge to swim in the deep cool refreshing water under the magnificent waterfall. Follow the river downstream in the gorge and explore this untouched, magic part of the Kimberley. This pristine gorge will leave you speechless.

Warla Gorge
Warla Gorge is also commonly known as the Hann River Gorge or to us at the station, The Beach. Located approximately 20km from the Mt Elizabeth Station Homestead it is a relatively easy 4WD track taking approximately 45 min to drive and an easy 50 meter walk to the water from the parking area. Warla is the perfect spot to take in the magnificent scenery the Kimberley has to offer whilst you float about in the cool refreshing waters. This gorge is also a great fishing spot, so while you relax under the gumtrees flick a line in, and for the more adventurous explore the Hann River up and down stream. The fine river sand gives you a beautiful beachy feel and with meandering waterfalls and some shallower waters, Warla is perfect for the entire family.

Mt Elizabeth offers two other tracks for our 4x4 enthusiasts.
Both tracks are only accessible via the MtE homestead where full directions and information will be given. Due to our location MtE receives a lot of rain between October and April each year. It depends on the wet season, but we aim to have these tracks open by mid May each year. The original Munja track is now under management of the Wilinggan Aboriginal Corporation, the track is closed and there is no longer access to the Walcott Inlett.
