Day 7 & 8 - Karijini NP
It takes a full two days to fully explore and bask in the magnificence of this national park and it's gorges. The Hamersley Ranges were formed over 2,500 million years ago and are some of the most unusual landforms on earth.

From cascading waterfalls found deep in the gorges to fresh still pools ideal for swimming, we experience it all. Some of the gorges are so narrow that you can touch both sides at once.
