Until quite recently, a remote and rugged part of the Kimberley region remained largely hidden from the public eye.

The plan covers two national parks (Greater Kingston National Park and Lake Muir National Park) and 17 nature reserves.

The plan describes the cultural heritage, natural, recreation, tourism, community and resource use values of the planning area and analyses management issues.
