Mungkan Kaanju (Kandju) National Park is a wilderness park of open woodlands, melaleuca swamps and rainforest. This park is a living cultural landscape, rich in significance for the Aboriginal Traditional Owners. It stretches from the McIlwraith Range foothills and is bounded by the west-flowing Archer and Coen Rivers. Bush camp at one of several secluded campsites. Go birdwatching around waterlily-covered lagoons and forest-fringed riverbanks. Go spotlighting in the rainforest to sight the common spotted cuscus.
