Karijini National Park – a geological marvel!

For a true insight to the ancient geological landscapes (and red dirt) of the PIlbara region, a visit to Karijini National Park is a “must do”. Whilst it is extremely remote, Karijini is quite a well run national park and has some really striking landscape to see. It is well worth a visit as these photos below will attest.

It is also quite a special experience having a refreshing swim in some of the waterholes after completing a dusty hike. Look around at the geology whilst floating in the water and ponder how minute and tiny our lifespans are when compared with geological time.

Termite Mound at Karijini National Park – The Australian landscape are dotted with these in so many regions. The termite mounds vary in height, width and colour depending on the region and the soil. Here in Karijini, the mounds are quite tall, squat and intensely Pilbara red!
