Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Spend three days in the Karijini National Park – Western Australia’s second-largest national park, with a diverse landscape of gorges and canyons more than 2.5 billion years old.
Learn about station life with a stay at Cheela Plains – a family-owned and operated Outback cattle station.
Visit Kalamina Gorge – the shallowest gorge in the Karijini National Park. Walk through the small rock pools and swim in the Rock Arch Pool.
Walk through the otherworldly landscape of the Pinnacles Desert – this national reserve is peppered with strange natural limestone structures that date back to around 30,000 years!
See the vibrant pink to lilac hues of Hutt Lagoon – the extra high salinity in the lake causes the bright shades of colour.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip requires a moderate to good level of fitness as it involves some walking, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
When travelling in Western Australia, temperatures can be very hot during the day and drop quite dramatically at night. Have a think about what time of year suits you best to travel and pack accordingly.
As Western Australia is so big, you can expect a few long travel days. Driving through the every-changing scenery can be a great way to rest and recharge or get to know your fellow travellers a little better!
