PINNACLES

The Pinnacles stand like weathered soldiers amongst a lunar-like landscape. Tall and erect they jut out from the sand forming a most unusual spectacle. Located in the Nambung National Park, The Pinnacles are one of Western Australia's significant natural attractions and one that no visitor should miss.

KALBARRI NATIONAL PARK

Kalbarri National Park covers 183,004 hectares. The park is located on the lower reaches of the Murchison River, which has cut magnificent red and white banded gorges for 80 kilometres, as it carves its way to the sea. The many and varied features of Kalbarri provide visitors with an array of things to see and do. Marvel at nature's ability to carve the landscape. Explore the depths and heights of the river gorges and sea cliffs. Admire the floral beauty of the vast, rolling sandplains. Discover the intriguing cultural history of the area.

Geology
The spectacular scenery of Kalbarri National Park is the result of many millions of years of geological formation. Beneath the landscape are deep, horizontal bands of multi-coloured sands which were deposited in layers some 400 million years ago.

The thinly bedded, red and white banded rocks seen through most of the river gorge and at the foot of Red Bluff were deposited on tidal flats. Rippled surfaces can be seen in many places, such as around Nature's Window (pictured above). The ripples were formed by waves moving over the tidal flats. Some beds (such as on the way down the Z-Bend and in overhangs at The Loop) look as if they have been riddled by plant roots, and often have a 'can of worms' appearance. These are burrows left by worms sheltering in the sand. Tracks and trails on flat surfaces show where animals crawled across the damp sedimentary surface.

The sedimentary rock formation found in the gorge and on the coast is called the Tumblagooda sandstone. Along the coast, wind and wave erosion has exposed the layers of the coastal cliffs that rise more than 100 metres above the ocean. From Red Bluff, extensive views south overlook colourful coastal limestone and sandstone ledges. There are scenic sites at Mushroom Rock, Rainbow Valley, Pot Alley and Eagle Gorge, to name but a few.

Wildflower wonderland
Kalbarri is also famous for its wildflowers, most of which bloom from late July through spring and into early summer. The species-rich heathlands provide a spectacular floral display. There are vivid gold and orange banksias, grevilleas in white, yellow and red, green and red kangaroo paws, featherflowers in many coloured shades, smokebushes, starflowers and many more.

Twenty-one plant species are found only here, mainly in the coastal cliff tops and gorge country. One of the best known is the Kalbarri catspaw, a small yellow or red plant that is usually seen on recently burnt country from August to September. It is confined to the Kalbarri area. There are also several orchids that can only be seen in and near the park, including the Kalbarri spider orchid and the Murchison hammer orchid.

Kalbarri Animals
Kalbarri is also a rich environment for birds and other animals. Most of the native mammals are nocturnal, but western grey kangaroos and emus can be seen during the day. Emus are Australia's largest native bird and the second largest flightless bird in the world. The father does all the parenting and can be seen with his brood of chicks until they are 18 months of age. Ospreys soar from the sea cliffs and wedge-tailed eagles patrol the gorges. The rare tammar wallaby was once found in the area, but has not been located near Kalbarri for many years. The bizarre and ferocious-looking thorny devil, which is only about nine centimetres long and eats ants, also thrives in the park.

River Gorge:
Z BEND - It is a moderately easy 500 m walk to the rock lookout which overhangs the Murchison.

Best Season:
Spring for the wildflowers.

Where is it?
The national park boundary is 533 kilometres from Perth. Kalbarri townsite is another 57 kilometres to the west.

MONKEY MIA – SHARK BAY

The many bays, inlets and islands in the Shark Bay region support a profusion of aquatic life. Turtles, whales, prawns, scallops, sea snakes, fish and sharks are common. Communities of corals, sponges and other invertebrates, together with a unique mix of tropical and temperate fish species, have also formed in some areas. The wide intertidal flats on the shores of Shark Bay support a unique community of burrowing molluscs, hermit crabs and other invertebrates. But the very foundation of Shark Bay’s ecosystem is the seagrass - meadows and meadows of it!

Shark Bay has the largest area of seagrass and the largest number of species ever recorded in one place in the world. Elsewhere, one or two species cover large geographic areas. For example, there is only one species of seagrass in most of North America and Europe. But in Shark Bay there are 12 species, and, in some places in the Bay, nine can easily be identified in a square metre.

The marine park and the scientifically-important seagrass banks form an important part of the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. The marine embayments of Shark Bay Marine Park offer many shallow, but highly recommended, diving and snorkelling sites. The most renowned sites are at Monkey Rock and the wreck of the Gudrun, rated by the Western Australian Maritime Museum as one of the State’s best wreck dives. Fish species in the area include estuary cod, many species of brightly-coloured wrasse such as cleaner fish and green moon wrasse, scissortail sergeant, lined butterflyfish, varieties of surgeonfish and brightly-coloured angelfish.

Dugongs and marine turtles are frequently seen in the bay. In Australian waters, herbivorous green turtles are more numerous than other marine turtles, which are carnivores. Individual turtles are common in Shark Bay all year round and congregations of turtles can be seen from the end of July, although the start of the breeding season is usually later. Traditionally, turtles and dugongs formed an important part of the diet of Aboriginal people but in Shark Bay these animals are not subject to as much hunting pressure as in other parts of the world.

The waters of Monkey Mia, where several bottlenose dolphins regularly visit the beach, are also within the marine park. The dolphins are wild animals that come to the beach of their own free will to interact with people and accept fish from them.

Best Season
The best time to visit the Bay is between June and October, when winds are generally lightest and the temperature is in the mid-20s (ºC). Temperatures can be extremely hot in the summer months.

Where is it?
Denham, on the shores of the Shark Bay Marine Park, is 400 kilometres north from Geraldton and 330 kilometres from Carnarvon. Monkey Mia Reserve is 23 kilometres from Denham.

SHELL BEACH

This unique stretch of beach is approximately 110km long, with the shells 8-10 metres deep. The wind and high temperatures around here produce a high evaporation of water, and as tidal action is unable to completely flush out the bay, this results in increased salinity. Some shellfishes, such as the small white bivalve Fragum Erugatum, can handle this high salt level; others, such as it's predators, cannot. This means that these shallow bay areas are perfect breeding grounds for millions of the shells.

Many of the buildings in Denham have been built from shell blocks cut from the local quarry. These shell blocks are a natural phenomenon discovered 70 years ago by the pioneers of the area. They make ideal building material as they are cheap and have very good insulation qualities. They were cut oversize with a chainsaw, transported to the building site and trimmed to the size required. The quarry is now used only to repair existing buildings or for special projects.

KARIJINI NATIONAL PARK

The Pilbara... one of the Earth's oldest land masses is estimated to be more than 2.5 billion years old. And how beautifully it has aged. With its sheer gorges and steep chasms you can see where nature has carved deep lines-of-time into the landscape.

There is no better place to witness this than at Karijini National Park. This is Australia's largest national park covering 100,000 square kilometres (38,610 square miles) and has spectacular 100-metre (327-foot) sheer-sided chasms. Hidden amongst this ruggedness are crystal clear rock pools and cascading waterfalls.

Karijini (formerly Hamersley Range National Park) is the second largest national park in WA. A party led by explorer F.T. Gregory explored the area in 1861. He named the Hamersley Range, on which the park is centred, after his friend Edward Hamersley.

Situated just north of the Tropic of Capricorn, the park's climate can best be described as tropical semi-desert. A highly variable, mainly summer rainfall of 250–350 mm, often associated with thunderstorms and cyclones, is accompanied by temperatures frequently topping 40 degrees Celsius. The ideal times to visit the park are late autumn, winter and early spring. Winter days are warm and clear, but nights are cold and sometimes frosty.

Karijini National Park protects many different wildlife habitats, landscapes, plants and animals of the Pilbara. Wildflowers vary with the seasons. In the cooler months the land is covered with yellow-flowering cassias and wattles, northern bluebells and purple mulla-mullas. After rain many plants bloom profusely.

It is also home to a variety of birds, red kangaroos and euros, rock-wallabies, echidnas and several bat species. Geckos, goannas, dragons, legless lizards, pythons and other snakes are abundant. Huge termite mounds are a feature of the landscape and the rock piles of the rare pebble mound mouse may be found in spinifex country.

In the north of Karijini National Park, small creeks hidden in the rolling hillsides—dry for most of the year—suddenly plunge into sheer-sided chasms up to 100 metres deep. These are the Park's famous gorges. They are spectacular but can be extremely dangerous. Further downstream, the gorges widen and their sides change from sheer cliffs to steep slopes of loose rock.

Rocks exposed at the gorges originated as finegrained sediment which accumulated on an ancient seafloor 2,500 million years ago. At this time, the atmosphere contained much less oxygen and the only forms of life were simple bacteria and algae. Many of these sediments laid down in the oceans were rich in iron and silica.

Over hundreds of millions of years, the iron-rich deposits were transformed by the pressure of further sediments laid down over them, and they gradually turned into tough well-bedded rock. The gorges were eroded when a sharp drop in sea level caused the rivers to downcut rapidly—a process enhanced by the onset of a more arid climate, which depleted the protective vegetation cover on the valley sides.

In Dales Gorge, a stream, pools, waterfalls, and ferns contrast with the red, terraced cliffs weathered by centuries of exposure. The occasional snappy gum can be seen perched on rocky ledges. But every gorge is different, and each one is worth a visit. At Oxer Lookout, the junction of Weano, Red, Hancock and Joffre Gorges, tiers of banded rock tower over a pool at the bottom of the gorge. To explore these gorges you must be fit and prepared to submerge in near-freezing water, follow narrow paths and cling to rock ledges.

The Park is the traditional home of the Panyjima, Kurrama and Innawonga Aboriginal people. The Panyima name for the Hamersley Range is Karijini. Evidence of their early occupation dates back more than 20,000 years. During that period, Aboriginal land management practices such as 'fire stick farming', resulting in a diversity of vegetation types and stages of succession, have helped determine the nature of the plants and animals found in the park today.

BROOME

"Broome Surrounds" Area, "Kimberley" Region Broome has a population of 10500 ( 1998 figures) and is approximately 2250 kilometres north of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. Broome simply oozes with colour. It's Western Australia's secret getaway - right on the Indian Ocean's doorstep and the gateway to Australia's last frontier of pristine wilderness - the Kimberley. From its rough and tumble, romantic pearling history to the cosmopolitan character of Chinatown, to the turquoise waters, red sandstone cliffs and the endless expanse of white sand at Cable Beach....the colours and moods of Broome will capture your soul. You'll never want to leave.

Broome owes its existence to the 'Pinctada Maxima' - the world's largest pearl oyster shell - discovered in Roebuck Bay in 1861. The giant pinctada shells caused a sensation overseas and soon a melting pot of nationalities flocked to the shores of Broome in the hope of making their fortune. Japanese, Malays and Koepangers joined the Aboriginal pearl divers, whilst the Chinese became the shopkeepers in town. Today, remnants of Broome's exotic past are everywhere. The town's multicultural society ensures a wonderful array of gourmet tastes, colourful characters and cultural influences. Pearling still remains a thriving industry and the world famous South Sea pearls feature in Chinatown's string of pearl galleries.

Broome's climate is also something to boast about with warm sunny days, balmy nights and spectacular storms during the tropical summer season. Not to mention the unforgettable spectacle of sunset on Cable Beach!

Climate - Sub Tropical
Average Temperatures (Celsius) LOW/HIGH - Winter 16c/29c Summer 26c/34c

Tourism Features - The famous Cable Beach is one of the most stunning beaches in the world with 22kms of white sand and clear tropical water. A safe swimming beach with a variety of watersport activties, it is also a perfect spot from which to enjoy a magnificent Broome sunset. Even better, you could join the sunset camel rides that operate daily along Cable Beach. Take a wander through the original commercial centre of Broome, Chinatown is now home to some of worlds finest Pearl Showrooms, along with a variety of retail outlets. Sun Pictures built in 1916, this unique theatre is the world's oldest operating picture gardens and still screens the latest in cinema magic every night. Take an historical journey into the life and times of the Broome pearl diver and view two of the last surviving perfectly restored pearl luggers. Visit the Japanese Cemetery a testimony to the perils of the early pearling industry. The final resting place of over 900 Japanese pearl divers.

TUNNEL CREEK

Western Australia's oldest cave system, in Tunnel Creek National Park, is famous as a hideout used late last century by an Aboriginal leader known as Jandamarra. He was killed outside its entrance in 1897. Tunnel Creek flows through a water worn tunnel beneath the limestone of the Napier Range, part of the 375 to 350 million-year-old Devonian Reef system. You can walk 750 metres through the tunnel to the other side of Napier Range, wading through several permanent pools and watching for bats and the stalactites that descend from the roof in many places. At least five species of bat live in the cave, including ghost bats and fruit bats, and stalactites descend from the roof in many places. Freshwater crocodiles Freshwater crocodiles are occasionally found in the pools. Take a torch, wear sneakers and be prepared to get wet and possibly cold.

Geology
The limestone reef is made up of calcium carbonate, which is readily dissolved by rainwater seeping from the surface into the rock. Over many thousands of years, water flowing along cracks, joints and bedding surfaces dissolves the limestone away, opening them out to form caves. Cave systems have formed wherever the reef has been exposed at the Earth's surface. This first occurred 250 million years ago, and the present system of active caves may have reused the same channels they created over the last 20 million years or so.

Tunnel Creek follows a prominent joint through the limestone. A old river valley on top of the range formed at a time when the climate was wetter, and the water table (the level to which rock beneath the surface is saturated with ground water) was higher. Erosion has since exhumed the reef, preserving the old river course.

The presence of underground pools along the floors of the cave is due to the water table being just below the present erosion surface. Water only flows through the cave after prolonged heavy rain during the wet season. During the dry season, water dripping from the roof of the caves and onto the floor precipitates calcite to form stalactites and stalagmites, or flows down the walls to form curtains of flowstones.

Where is it? -
Tunnel Creek National Park covers just 91 hectares. It is 115 kilometres from Fitzroy Crossing, 180 kilometres from Derby, 30 kilometres south-east of Windjana Gorge.

Best Season:
The best season to visit is between May and September and the park is usually inaccessible during the wet season.

WINDJANA GORGE

The walls of Windjana Gorge rise abruptly from the wide alluvial floodplain of the Lennard River, reaching about 100 metres high in some places. The 3.5-kilometre long gorge cuts through the limestone of the Napier Range; part of an ancient barrier reef, which can also be seen at Geikie Gorge and Tunnel Creek National Parks. The Lennard River runs through the gorge in wet weather, but during the dry season it forms pools surrounded by trees and shrubs. The deep, moist soils of the riverbank support the tall broad-leaved leichardt tree, native figs and the paper-barked cadjeputs. These trees also provide shelter from the hot sun for many waterbirds, a colony of fruit bats and a large group of corellas. Freshwater crocodiles can often be seen in the pools.

Where is it?
150 kilometres from Fitzroy Crossing and 145 kilometres from Derby.

GIBB RIVER ROAD

The Gibb River Road was initially constructed as a beef road to transport cattle from the surrounding stations to the ports of Derby and Wyndham. It spans some six-hundred and seventy kilometres from Derby to the junction of the Great Northern Highway between Wyndham and Kununurra. On passing through a gap in the Napier Range, the majesty of the King Leopold Ranges comes into view. The road winds and twists its way through this magnificent area of sheer cliffs and water holes.

The Kimberley Region experiences two seasons being the dry and wet (green season). Access to the Gibb River is not recommended during the wet or green season due to flooding. The recommended time to travel on this road is between April and November.

MITCHELL PLATEAU

Mitchell Plateau in the far north Kimberley is the remains of an elevated laterite-capped plain, bordered by sandstone, in which the Mitchell River has carved spectacular gorges.

The landscape around the plateau varies from mangroves and swamps, to woodlands and lush rainforest patches, accounting for the rich diversity of the wildlife.

The Mitchell Plateau is accessed via the 4-wheel-drive-only Mitchell Plateau track from Kalumburu Road, 172 kms north of the Gibb River Road junction.

MITCHELL FALLS WALK

The 6-km return walk to Mitchell Falls from the camping area is moderate to difficult as it traverses rocky terrain. Take care near the many cliffs. The track to Mitchell Falls continues past Little Mertens Falls (approx. 500 metres from the camping area) and Big Mertens Falls (approx. 2.5 km from the camping area).

BUNGLE BUNGLE RANGE(Purnululu National Park)

The Bungle Bungle Range, in Purnululu National Park, is one of the most fascinating geological landmarks in Western Australia. From an aircraft, the Bungle Bungle Range is an imposing sight. The orange and black stripes across the beehive-like mounds, encased in a skin of silica and algae, are clearly visible as you approach from the south. As you sweep further over the range a hidden world of gorges and pools is revealed, with fan palms clinging precariously to walls and crevices in the rocks.

Although the Bungle Bungle Range was extensively used by Aboriginal people during the wet season, when plant and animal life was abundant, few Europeans knew of its existence until the mid-1980s. The area has been a national park since 1987 and its unique appearance has captured the public imagination. The park offers a remote wilderness experience.

The park is open only between April and September.

In the Kija Aboriginal language purnululu means sandstone. The name Bungle Bungle comes either from the corruption of an Aboriginal name for the area, or from a misspelling of one of the common Kimberley grasses found here, bundle bundle grass.

The Bungle Bungle Range rises up to 578 metres above sea level. The range stands 200 to 300 metres above a woodland and grass-covered plain, with steep cliffs on the western face. Elsewhere, particularly where Piccaninny Creek has formed Piccaninny Gorge, the range is cut by deep gullies and breaks up into complex areas of ridges and domes, with prominent orange and black or grey bands.

Geology
Virtually every visitor to Purnululu asks the same question - how did this remarkable landscape come about? The distinctive beehive-shaped towers of the Bungle Bungle are made up of sandstones (rocks formed by the consolidation of sand grains) and conglomerates (rocks composed mainly of pebbles and boulders and cemented together by finer material). These sedimentary formations were deposited into the Ord Basin 375 to 350 million years ago, when active faults were altering the landscape.

To the north of what is now the Bungle Bungle Range, uplift occurred along the Osmond Fault to create the Osmond Range, and to the west took place along the Halls Creek Fault. Streams and rivers eroded these ancient highlands and at their edges slopes were steep and the energy in the streams and rivers was high, allowing them to carry large boulders and dump them at the foot of the scarp. Such boulder conglomerates can today be seen in the walls of Echidna Chasm.

Most of the rocks in the Bungle Bungle Range, however, were formed from sand deposited further from the highlands by lower-energy braided rivers flowing across broad plains in open valleys. As more sand accumulated, the older channels consolidated to form sandstone.

The distinctive beehive-shaped landforms seen today have been produced by uplift and erosion during the last 20 million years. Contrary to its solid appearance, the sandstone is extremely fragile. The weight of overlying rock holds the sand grains in place, but when this is removed, the sandstones are easily eroded and the rounded tops reflect this lack of internal strength. Water flowing over the surface will exploit any weaknesses or irregularities in the rock, such as cracks or joints, and rapidly erodes the narrow channels that separate the towers.

Geological features
One of the most obvious features of the sandstones is the alternating orange and black or grey banding. The darker bands are on the more permeable layers of rock (which means water is able to move through them with relative ease). They allow moisture to seep through to the rock surface, promoting a dark algal growth.

The less permeable layers in between are covered with a patina of iron and manganese staining, creating the orange bands. These outer coatings (the rock beneath is a whitish colour) help to protect the lower parts of the towers from erosion.

About 250 million years ago, after the area was uplifted, a meteorite hit just north-east of Piccaninny Creek. All that remains today is a 10 kilometre circular structure on top of the Range. The same erosional forces that produced the Bungle Bungle and its sandstone towers have removed the crater.

While the geology of the Bungle Bungle is indeed significant, the area's cultural and ecological importance should not be forgotten. The area is rich in Aboriginal art and there are also many burial sites. The Warmun Aboriginal Camp was re-established in the area several years ago and the Aboriginal traditional owners make a valuable contribution to the management of the park. The Department of Conservation and Land Management has responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the park. More than 130 bird species are the park's most visible animals, including rainbow bee-eaters and flocks of budgerigars. The nailtail wallaby and euro live around the massif, while the short-eared rock-wallaby and euro are thought to live on top. Several species of rare animals also occur in the park. Purnululu attracts visitors for a whole range of reasons.

Where is it? -
The turn-off to the park is 250 km south of Kununurra or 109 km north of Halls Creek. The park access road is accessible only to four-wheel-drive vehicles.

KATHERINE GORGE NATIONAL PARK (Nitmiluk National Park)

This beautiful National Park features a series of 13 spectacular gorges that draw people from all over the world to enjoy its majestic serenity. The park also holds Aboriginal significance for the local Jawoyn people. The Katherine River has carved the deep gorges through sandstone over millions of years and some cliffs are over 60 metres in height. The ochre shades and textures in the rocks make for great photographic opportunities.

Nitmiluk National Park is located 29 kilometres from Katherine on an all sealed road. The park is 292 008 hectares in size and is home to unique species of birds, fish and flora and fresh water crocodiles. There are more than 100 kilometres of marked bushwalking trails in the park which comprise many of the walks of the region. Walkers are required to register at the Nitmiluk Visitor Centre and obtain contour maps and safety information. Longer walks of up to 5 days are possible but require a camping permit from a park ranger. Other activities and tours in the National Park include boat cruises, canoeing, bushwalking, scenic flights, bush tucker tours and swimming.

Accommodation includes the Katherine Gorge Caravan Park and campground. No pets allowed. Other facilities include a kiosk, picnic ground and plenty of shade. The Nitmiluk Visitor Centre is an ideal location to discover more about the diverse Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park. Learn about the geology, landscape and Aboriginal history of this magnificent park. Enjoy a snack or a cup of coffee overlooking the Katherine River as it emerges from the Gorge system.
