While we were at Tom Price, we went on a bus trip to Karijini N.P. The bus arrived at the caravan park at 7.30 a.m. and off we went-
We passed Mt. Bruce which at 1235m, is the second highest mountain in Western Australia. As we returned in the afternoon it was shrouded in cloud from a storm which passed through.
Our first stop was at Circular Falls at Dales Gorge which is a great view from the lookout.
After a short walk, this is the view out over Dales Gorge at Fortescue Falls. The waterfall flows all year round.
Down the steps from Fortescue Falls is Fern Pool. The guys got a great massage under the waterfall. There is decking and seating which makes it a very enjoyable place to swim.
The following is the view from Oxer Lookout where the Weano, Hancock, Joffre and Red Gorges meet. These gorges then meet up with the Wittenoom and Knox Gorges.
The last stop for the day was Handrail Pool at Weano Gorge which proved to be quite a challenge for some.
We left the Hamersley Range behind and headed toward Port Headland. This was a morning tea stop along the way.
A few kilometres down the road is the turnoff to Wittenoom Gorge. This is a controversial area as asbestos was mined in the area 40 years ago. The waterholes in the gorge look cool and inviting.
The rest of the trip to Port Headland was pretty uninteresting. These boulders appear out of nowhere along the road.
These trucks with four trailers look monstrous when coming toward you on the road!!
