Karijini National Park

About the park:

Take a journey back in time to discover Western Australia’s second largest national park. Erosion has slowly carved this stunning red landscape out of rock that is over 2.5 billion years old.

Before you start to explore this ancient part of the planet, stop in at the Karijini Visitor Centre where locals can advise you of the best places to see and things to do.

Wander down into ancient deep gorges of layered red rock and swim through crystal-clear waters. We are sure you’ll ‘waterfall’ in love with the freshwater falls and secluded swimming holes surrounded by lush green ferns.

To get the most out of your experience we recommend staying a couple of nights. Set up camp and as the sun goes down, get lost in a sky full of stars. If you prefer a comfier stay, go glamping at the Karijini Eco Retreat. They also offer guided adventure tours. After the rains, see the landscape covered in yellow flowering cassias and wattles, northern bluebells and purple mulla-mullas.

Look for the large termite mounds scattered throughout the grasslands as well as a variety of birds, rock wallabies, echidnas, red kangaroos, goannas, dragons and snakes.
