{{Use Australian English|date=November 2013}}{{Use dmy dates|date=November 2013}}El Questro Wilderness Park is a wilderness park on El Questro Station, a cattle station that diversified its pastoral operation to include tourism, located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It remains a working cattle station with a herd of approximately 6,000 head. In 2012 the pastoral station lessee was GPT Funds Management Pty Ltd. El Questro station operates under Crown Lease number CL207-1984 and has Land Act number LA3114/1180.[1][2]

The park is located {{convert|110|km|mi|0}} west of Kununurra and is accessed from the Gibb River Road and encompasses an area of over {{convert|1000000|acre|km2|0}} that extends some {{convert|80|km|mi|0}} into the heart of the Kimberley.[3]

The station was first established in 1903. Will and Celia Burrell bought the cattle station in 1991 and developed it into a wilderness park tourist destination.[4] The Burrells sold El Questro to General Property Trust in 2005. General Property Trust onsold the wilderness park to Delaware North in March 2010.[5][6]

There are three resorts on El Questro: Emma Gorge (offering safari cabins) located at, The Station (bungalows and camping) located at and The Homestead (luxury rooms and suites) located at - all operated by Delaware North of Buffalo, New York.
