Karijini National Park
Karijini National Park is famous for its dramatic creeks, spectacular gorges and towering sheer sided chasms up to 100 metres deep.
It is home to a variety of birds, red kangaroos and euros, rock-wallabies, echidnas and several bat species. Geckos, goannas, dragons, legless lizards, pythons and other wildlife are abundant. In the north of Karijini National Park, small creeks hidden in the rolling hillsides – dry for most of the year – suddenly plunge into sheer-sided chasms up to 100 metres deep. These are the Park’s famous gorges. Further downstream the gorges widen and their sides change from sheer cliffs to steep slopes of loose rock.
In Dales Gorge, a stream, pools, waterfalls and ferns contrast with the red, terraced cliffs weathered by centuries of exposure. The occasional snappy gum can be seen perched on rocky ledges. But every gorge is different, and each one is worth a visit. At Oxer Lookout, the junction of Weano, Red, Hancock and Joffre Gorges, tiers of banded rock tower over a pool at the bottom of the gorge.
Experiences: Touring the gorges.
Accommodation: Two nights in a deluxe eco-tent with private en-suite.
