Karijini National Park

KARIJINI NATIONAL PARK

The red heart of WA, where water carves deep into ancient stone.

Overview
Karijini is a wonderland of gorges, waterfalls, and billion-year-old rock formations. A place to swim in emerald pools, hike through narrow chasms, and feel dwarfed by the age and power of nature.

See and Do

The local favourite
Take the trail into Hancock Gorge to the stunning Handrail Pool, a hidden oasis framed by towering rock walls.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Marvel at Joffre Gorge from the lookout, or descend into its amphitheatre-like floor.

Adventures in nature
Camp under stars, explore Fern Pool, and discover the ancient geology and cultural stories of this extraordinary park.
