We arrive at Karijini at around lunchtime and make our first stop at the stunning visitor centre. We have enjoyed many of the visitor centre's on our trip, and this one was full of beautiful displays including lots of info on aboriginal history in the area. There are 2 campgrounds here, and we decide to camp at the Eco Retreat as it's closer to most of the gorges. We visit Dales gorge first and are blown away by our first view of the gorge system here. We thought we had seen it all, with so many gorges throughout the Kimberley, but the gorges here are spectacular and dramatic in their own way. Most other gorges we have entered have been from ground level...and we have walked into them, but here the ground simply opens up in front of you, and you find yourself standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down into a deep red chasm around 200m deep.
The steps down to circular pool are steep and rocky, and we really enjoy being back in the bush. It is cooler here, mid 20's, which is great for walking. There are pools for swimming although just a quick dip, as the water is pretty cold!
From there we visited Fortescue falls and Fern pool...both beautiful spots.
We set up camp just in time for dinner, and an early night...all of us exhausted!
