The wilderness park consists of an area of 1,417.49 square kilometres (547 sq mi),[1] with no vehicular access, and no defined walking tracks.

As it is a dedicated wilderness area, there are no facilities of any kind, including toilets or campsites.

[2] A large bushfire was ignited by lightning in the park in 2002 then spread rapidly due to strong winds and dry fuel.

The fire soon joined another in the adjoining Wyperfield National Park and an area of 1,814 square kilometres (700 sq mi) was burned out.

The fire burned for two weeks resulting in the loss of an abandoned house and 400 hectares (988 acres) of private property.
