Karijini
I left Broome with Shani and Nitsan, the 2 Israeli girls and headed for the West Coast. We reached Port Headland in the first day, which is a dump, so we only stayed for the night and to stock up on food before heading for Karijini. On the way to ...
The Big Swim
... ", it's been with some rather solid training behind me. This year, I decided I wanted to do "the workout" prior to leaving Tom Price -- the difficultly was that I hadn't actually swam since leaving TP last March! So, like the idiot that I am, ...
Middle of nowhere Gorges
... we left early and basically drove for 12 hours from Exmouth to Karijini, the second largest National Park in Australia. The only noticeable stops were at Tom Price as little mining town just outside the park. Last night we slept outside in swags for the ...
bis dann
So ich sitze jetzt gerade am Flughafen in Perth und warte auf meinen Flug nach Paraburdoo ... nach einer Stunde und 40 Minuten treffe ich dann da hoffentlich auf dem Flugplatz ein, und fahre dann noch ne Stunde zurueck ins Camp ... wo ich dann die ...
Day 6: On the road to Karijini
Not exactly a huge amount to report from today. After a reluctant farewell to our pals that we were leaving behind in Exmouth, we drove. And we drove. And we drove a bit more. Oh, and then we drove. Stopped to collect some firewood. And then drove ...
Karajini
Today we were picked up at 8am for a trip to Karajini. We don't like trips, but since most of the park is only for 4WD we had no option. We were worried when we realised out of the 11 people we were the youngest! or at least fittest. However, Baz the ...
Still in the middle of nowhere, but there is hope!
Yo yo boys and girls! It feels like I've forgotten about our blog, but there are changes afoot. Instead of a roadkill kangaroo the blog is more like a bear in hibernation ready to wake up at any minute and tear the head off of a rabbit, or ...
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
... various puddles and waterfalls cascading off the shop rooves to get ourselves a tasty lunch from the bakery. Unfortunately, the post office in Tom Price takes a lunch break that coincided with ours, so we figured it would do no harm to eat lunch in the ...

Karijini National Park
We awoke early, with the sun streaming through the windows of the van and with no running water at the campsite, decided to head straight down to Fern Pool for a bathe. Fern Pool is to be found a little beyond Fortescue Falls. It is a quiet ...

Tom Price
Oz - west coast Pilbarra: Tom Price We drove inland into what could best be described as a blast furnace of utter despair and pain. We have no record of how hot our state run sleep area was that night, but without a shadow of a doubt it was mid forty ...
Tom Price
Another over night stay and then we headed into the Pilbra driving through some very different scenery an onto Tom Price to get some supplies, after stocking up we enquired about going in the mining tour the next day. We stayed in Tom ...
beautiful red gorges at Karijini
Deep gorges, red rocks and waterpools – all those things don`t come often in flat Australia. Karijini N.P. has it all, and here it is possible to go a bit exploring. On the way to Handrail Pool and Kermit`s Pool you climb through deep gorges and ...
Mining Town
... are driving a Wicked Van. We met them at the Nanutarra roadhouse. Apparently they have been spoting us all the way up the coast. Tom Price is a mining town and has everything you need. Our tent made its debut here. The campsite we stayed in was just ...
So Many Gorges
More gorges and our first rainy day. This was an issue and left us van bound for 17 hours of the day. Wow! We learnt that wet, corregated dirt roads are not fun to drive on especially when your "4WD" is ill equipped to handle off road ...

This is great, this is wonderful
Took a detour inland to check out Karijini National Park. It was definitely worth it. Lots of scenery, waterfalls, gorges and all that. Had a few swims in some stunning rock pools. Heading to Exmouth for a while ...
Karijini National Park
... from the top more than sufficed, it was too shaded to swim there anyway!! We left the park and headed to the town of Tom Price, where the toilets were closed, the sun too hot and the supermarket poorly stocked - the only saving grace being a dirty ...
Mount Nameless
Dominating Tom Price and the mine is Mount Nameless. We decided to follow a track to the top but as we looked at it from below, couldn't figure out how we were going to reach the top over the Red cliffs. We soon found out. We were going to scramble up ...
Into the outback
Packed the tent again, and off for a long drive East at last, towards Tom Price, a funny name for a town! I started to count the cars we met during the drive but lost count, was it 3 or 4? We saw hardly anyone or anything during the drive of about 600k, ...
The RED dust of Karijini
Karijini National Park - I was really looking forward to this part of the journey, it was away from the coast and in land to the "Oasis in the desert" We were officially in the Pilbara and the intense RED dirt proved that! We were given our camp site ...
Tom Price
... was all sorted out and we've exteneded our rental time on the campervan by a week to give us some extra leeway. Arrived in Tom Price at 11am which was lucky as everything shuts at about noon round here. For some unknown reason both myself became extremely ...
Trockene Landschaft, Berge, Wasserfaelle und Pools
Und dann haben wir fuer 2 Tage der Kueste erstmal 'Tschuess' gesagt und uns ins Landesinnere begeben. Sprich endlose Kilometer, trockene Buesche, viel rote Erde, auf einmal n paar Huegel und Steinhaufen hier und da, Kuehe und Kaengurus mitten auf'm ...
Karijini Nat. Park
Je weiter wir in den Norden von WA vordringen umso aufregender, kontrastreicher und einsamer wird es. Im Karijini National Park kletterten wir in 100m tiefe, zwei Milliarden Jahre alte Schluchten hinunter. Warteten durch knietiefes Wasser, ...
Karijini National Park
... I am not the only one. I wait in a queue to reach the pump. There is a long hill that winds down into Tom Price town and a therein a supermarket. With some essential groceries onboard, I reset my aim for the campsite at Mount Nameless. Mount Nameless is ...
Karijini - Gorges Paradise (West)
In the morning we drove up to Karijini Eco Resort. They also have a campground with, again, numbered sites, so we could not pick a site we wanted. After a short lunch we went to Circular Pool Lookout and Oxer Lookout. Again, the walk to the lookouts ...
Gorge-ous Karijini
Headed east into outback WA. Went exploring the many gorges of Karijini National Park. Our first real experience of bush camping inclusive of the chemical toilet and dingo and snake risk. We plugged all holes in Wicko with foil to ...
