The red rock, white ghost gums, beautiful waterfalls and
sparkling rock pools make this place one of the best and most unique places in
Australia. Camping in the dry landscape above the gorges every night and then
walking down into a completely different world during the day really does take
your breath away.

Karijini National Park is located in northern Western
Australia and is a 2 to 3 day drive from Perth. It is a great place for a
family holiday at any time of the year. There are so many amazing gorges to
walk down and explore that you will never have a dull moment.

One of my favourite gorges is Hancock Gorge. It was quite an
adventure the first time I walked down there, with ladders and rock shelves.
The highlight was Spider Walk, where the gorge becomes so narrow that your
hands touch both side while your feet try to get a grip in the rushing water. It
was a unique experience and was extremely fun.

Fortescue Falls are a great sun baking location with a small
waterhole, however if you know about the secret pathway around the back of the
falls you will come across Fern Pool, Fern Pool is a picturesque large rock
pool with aqua green water, red rock and a waterfall on the other side. It is a
beautiful place to have a swim on a hot day after the long walk down into the
gorge.

No matter where you are in the national park, no matter what
walk you are doing you are rewarded by stunning scenery. Swimming is allowed throughout the whole
national park as every waterhole has beautiful cold, clear, fresh water.

I highly recommend Karijini as your next family holiday
destination, if you are into some camping, a lot of adventure and a unique
experience this is the place for you.
