Karijini National Park is in the Pilbara area of WA. This is Lang Hancock territory, the Hamersley Ranges are stark red and the vegetation sparse but there are also a number of gorges, waterfalls and rock pools which can be viewed by descending steep paths and steps - oh for some young knees and stronger legs!
We stayed at the Dales Campground which provides bush toilets and gas BBQs - plus a wonderful view of the night sky - we were blessed with warm, still starry starry nights!
And then on to Tom Price, a young Rio Tinto mining town - and another mine tour, the world’s largest open cut iron ore mine. More superlatives, trucks worth $M4.5 with tyres which cost $50,000 each.
And something new - today it’s raining, something we haven’t seen for quite a while, time for warmer clothes too.
