Karijini National Park

Reviewed By ingrida774 - Melbourne, Australia

We spent 3 night in a spacious, quiet site in Dales Gorge Campground. Everywhere we visited in Karijini NP was beautiful from the spectacular view to excellent walks and hikes. The visitor centre is about 10 km from Dales Campground, it has free wifi and a shower. In the overflow area near the Information centre you can dispose of rubbish and obtained some water. I personally loved the Dales Gorge round trip hike down to Fortesque falls, Fern Pool, walked through the Gorge to Stunning Circular Pool then climbed approximately 100 metres up, out of the Gorge. Also the view at Oxer Lookout is stunning. There are plenty of toilets throughout the NP and parking plus at Weano Gorge there is a picnic area. There is some dirt, corrugated roads into Weano and Hancock Gorges. No Telstra. Highly recommend.

Cossack

Situated at the heart of the Pilbara coastal region, Cossack is a town alive with history and culture. Just 50km from the modern city of Karratha, Cossack is a peaceful and tranquil spot. Stay in the comfortable B&B accommodation or one of the camping sites and explore the natural and man-made beauty of the local area. It is also a great base from which to explore the region’s highlights such as Roebourne, Point Samson, Millstream Chichester National Park and the Burrup Peninsula’s Murujuga National Park. The Cossack site features a popular café and souvenir shop, museum set amongst the town’s restored historical buildings. There are excellent walks, safe swimming and snorkelling in and around the stunning Settlers Beach. The fishing is hard to beat. Particularly if you get out on the water. Cossack Boat Hire offers a range of boats for hire, by the hour or day.

Decided to drive and have look on our way to Point Samson. It was really interesting to read about the history of Cossack town as you wondered through it.

Staircase To The Moon

Reviewed By CJBJC - Australian Capital Territory, Australia

If you want the natural phenomenon, this version is probably second best, best being Settlers Beach at Cossack. No markets and way less people so much more enjoyable with a picnic and a chilled drink.

Oxer Lookout

Reviewed By Trimley11 - Felixstowe, United Kingdom

This and Junction Lookout provide views over the junction of three river gorges. Many of the rock surfaces are carpeted with spinifex which contrasts with the red of the rock and there are also quite a few white-trunked eucalypts to provide further colour and contrast.
