Karijini National Park

Reviewed By ingrida774 - Melbourne, Australia

We spent 3 night in a spacious, quiet site in Dales Gorge Campground. Everywhere we visited in Karijini NP was beautiful from the spectacular view to excellent walks and hikes. The visitor centre is about 10 km from Dales Campground, it has free wifi and a shower. In the overflow area near the Information centre you can dispose of rubbish and obtained some water. I personally loved the Dales Gorge round trip hike down to Fortesque falls, Fern Pool, walked through the Gorge to Stunning Circular Pool then climbed approximately 100 metres up, out of the Gorge. Also the view at Oxer Lookout is stunning. There are plenty of toilets throughout the NP and parking plus at Weano Gorge there is a picnic area. There is some dirt, corrugated roads into Weano and Hancock Gorges. No Telstra. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful visitors center. We are driving from Broome to Perth and have many stops along the way. We search out visitors centers in the towns we stay the night to get up to date information. The ladies working there were more than helpful. They have a beautiful place to work and you could tell they enjoyed their job.

Staircase To The Moon

Reviewed By CJBJC - Australian Capital Territory, Australia

If you want the natural phenomenon, this version is probably second best, best being Settlers Beach at Cossack. No markets and way less people so much more enjoyable with a picnic and a chilled drink.

Millstream-Chichester National Park

Reviewed By Deb3John - Karratha, Australia

Pick you time to visit - straight after the rains the pools will be a bit muddy, wait for a week or two for the pools to clear up. There are many pools to be found in this area. Python pool is always very busy with people, we tend to look for those out of the way spots where there is no one. Make sure that you have large amounts of water(incase you break down). You have your devices charged and a spare charger. Take your time on the roads and enjoy the rugged beauty of this place Take a picnic, sunscreen, hat and good walking shoes.

Cemetery Beach Park

Reviewed By polsta - Perth, Australia

We were fortunate to Witness some Flatback turtles laying their eggs on separate occasions at dusk at Cemetery beach. The volunteer “ turtle patrol” offered information about the process and how not cause undue stress to the turtles. We were advised to return at 7 AM in the hope if seeing some hatchlings make their way to the ocean. We were lucky to witness one little turtle make it to the water. Their were several reef sharks in the shallow water, hopefully the little turtle didn’t get eaten.

Along the necessarily industrial coastline of this mining port town, the Pretty Pool park area is a fantastic place to score some shade and relax. Expect to be there with families and fellow travellers enjoying the unique aspects of the port and bay vistas
