Karijini National Park, Western Australia<br />
The second largest but most spectacular National Park in Western Australia<br />
is the Karijini National Park. Located in the Hamersley Ranges of the<br />
Pilbara region, the park is located just north of the Tropic of Capricorn<br />
and 600 miles North West of Perth. Karijini is well known for its eye<br />
catching geological features and rich deep outback colors. Immerse<br />
yourself amongst the ancient geological formations and you suddenly feel<br />
awestruck at the red layered cliffs that line the spectacular gorges eroded<br />
by nature over billions of years. I made the trek to the Pilbara a few years<br />
ago and the long drive in at some stages felt like we were never going to<br />
arrive. But once we did the travel time in was never in question. It was<br />
a hot day and we headed straight to the Spa Pool, a natural rock pool to<br />
swim. To say this was one of the most amazing places that I have swum is<br />
an understatement. And pictures just don’t do it justice, you have got to get<br />
there. This part of Australia is quite hard to access and wont suit everyone<br />
but it is in incredibly beautiful and worth the effort. The National Park and<br />
surrounding area is nothing like anything I have experienced ever before.<br />
The Pilbara’s gum trees, termite mounds and expansive plains give way to<br />
picturesque gorges, refreshing waterfalls and the emerald waterholes.
