So we headed out to Karijini National Park. We were looking forward to seeing these Gorges after all the shows we had watched on the Pilbara over the years.

The gorges were not disappointing. It was quite warm up on the top but when we walked down into the Weano gorge it was lovely and cool. We were only able to go in a little way as the rest of the gorge was a class 5 walk which meant you had to be quite fit. Not us these days.

We then when to a couple of look outs on the top which gave us great views down into the gorges in this area. Can't capture in photos how deep these gorges actually were. Amazing to see.

The disappointing part to this trip though was the state of the dirt roads. They were badly corrugated. Don't know how some of the 2wds got out to the gorges. We found it bad enough in a 4wd. Put a bit of a dampner on the visit.

The visitor centre though was fantastic and had alot of information on the developement of the area. Also how the first people and white settlers have worked together to establish and maintain the importance of the first peoples significant sites in the 21st century. Aboriginal rangers and employees are an important part of maintaining this co operation.
