Jardine River, located in the far north of Queensland (postcode 4874), is a remote and sparsely populated area known for its stunning natural beauty and cultural significance. Situated within the Cape York Peninsula, it is home to the Jardine River National Park, which features lush rainforests, wetlands, and the iconic Jardine River, the largest perennial river in the region. The area is rich in Indigenous heritage, with the Traditional Owners, the Northern Kaanju people, having deep spiritual and historical ties to the land. Due to its remoteness, Jardine River is primarily a destination for adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking to explore the untamed wilderness of northern Australia. Access is often limited to 4WD vehicles, particularly during the wet season when roads can become impassable.
