Karijin is the second largest National Park in Western Australia. It is just north of Tom Price and depending on what part of the park you are heading into, it is around an hour's drive. We decided to head into the eastern side of the park and stay at Dales Campground. This and Savannah Camp Ground are the only camp grounds in the park. Both cost to stay, again you need a day pass or yearly park pass to get in. Then it will cost you to stay which is unpowere...

There has been alot of rain here recently and you could almost think you were around the Grampians in Victoria. There are impre...

We wasted no time in checking out the beach and getting good advice from the campground hosts. I thought I would ...

We left our free camp south of Carnavon on Thursday the 28th of May. First stop was Quobba Point. There isn't alot to see here except for blowholes. The blowholes here however are spectacular. The ocean was really rough and the water was crashing against the rocks shooting water atleast 30 meters high in the air through four or five holes in the rocks. We all got covered in water when a freak wave hit the blowholes. It was great and the kids really enjoyed ...
