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.

If you're lucky you'll see splendid wrens and ospreys, what more could you ask for? This really is a gem of a spot on the edge of the estuary.

Beautiful beaches and coastal plains and, in the midst of it all, the unique Pinnacles Desert.

From all the beaches to visit, the excellent sandy beaches with some with rocks, the snorkeling is amazing. We really enjoyed Oyster Stacks, Turquoise Bay and Lakeside as our favorites. Lakeside and Turquoise Bay provided us with the opportunity to drift. We were able to see emus, kangaroos, all different kinds of birds, etc. and to hike. There is camping however, we had our base in Exmouth as we stayed in town. This Park is amazing and so beautiful.

Almost deserted, even in the middle of summer, nature’s window is very easily accessible from a sealed footpath to a viewing platform. For a while we had the place entirely to ourselves. The walk down from the car park only takes a few minutes. Stunning scenery awaits your arrival and there are a number of longer walking trails that start/end there too if you have a few spare hours. There is a short circular footpath walk around the lighthouse that takes about 15 minutes and there are lots of benches that are perfect for a picnic lunch with views out to sea. Everything we did was step free accessible. There are no toilets at nature’s window, but there are some nearby at Tookulup beach about 5 minutes’ drive away.

Travelled through the FRNP on a warm Sunday afternoon and had lunch at Point Ann. The whole area, including the picnic area, toilets (drop box), barbecues, look-outs, walk trails and the camping ground and beach access was immaculate and really top class. The roads in were a bit corrugated but a grader can fix that. Remember to pay your $15 per vehicle when you arrive. The money is being spent wisely and for our benefit.

Visited on Saturday 23rd November. You have to pay to visit the National Park and they offer a seniors price for $8.00 for a day pass. Well worth the money considering what you get to see and do there.

John Forrest National is a great family location for hiking, bike riding and a lovely picnic spot. We visited in a beautiful spring day and on foot travelled to the old train tunnel.. A fun spot to explore with young children. The entry fee is per car around $16. For entry. You can purchase food from the kiosk or take your own as plenty of parking and picnic spots on offer.
