ITINERARY

We travel inland, stopping in the iron ore mining town of Tom Price for provisions before setting up camp overlooking the magnificent Hamersley Range. (LD)

DAY 2 + 3 :: KARIJINI NATIONAL PARK
Two full days of adventure is the perfect amount of time needed to explore Karijini National Park and its amazing gorges. Formed over 2,500 million years ago, the Hamersley Ranges are some of the most unusual landforms on earth. Deep in the gorges you’ll come across cascading waterfalls and fresh, still waterholes – perfect for swimming. Dales Gorge, Fortesque Falls, Fern Pool, Circular Pool, Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge are just some of the stunning areas we’ll get to. Definitely a highlight! (BLD)

DAY 4 :: KARIJINI TO GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY
It’s a short drive to Auski Roadhouse before beginning our drive south along the Great Northern Highway. We pass through the iron ore mecca of the north – Newman and pass through many large sheep stations (some over 1 million acres in size). We share our last night together at one of the vast stations in this area. (BLD)

DAY 5 :: GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY TO PERTH
Leaving early we travel to the gold mining town of Mt Magnet. A short break and once more we are on our way to Perth. As the kilometres slip by we soon find ourselves in the wheat and sheep farming districts north east of Perth. Early afternoon will find us at the picturesque town of New Norcia built as a mission by Benedictine monks in the 1840’s. As the day draws to a close we arrive into Perth. (BL)
