ore mining, before reaching our camp overlooking the magnificent
Hamersley Range. (LD)
Days 7
& 8 - Karijini National Park
Two full days of adventure is the perfect amount of time needed
to explore Karijini National Park and its amazing gorges.
Formed over 2,500 million years ago, the Hamersley Ranges
are some of the most unusual landforms on earth. Deep in the
gorges you'll come across cascading waterfalls and fresh,
still waterholes - perfect for swimming. Dales Gorge, Fortesque
Falls, Fern Pool, Circular Pool, Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge
are just some of the stunning areas we'll get to. Definitely
a highlight! (BLD)

quick town tour and marvel at the sheer size of the iron ore
industry. After lunch we continue on towards Pardoo Station,
where we spend our last night together. (BLD)
Day 10
