What you’ll do

Karijini is, in my opinion, THE most amazing national park in Australia!

If you’re keen to soak up the best of Karijini National Park in three days, this is my go-to itinerary. I’ve been to Karijini quite a few times now, and this plan nails it every time—iconic gorges, epic hikes, and plenty of time for a swim in those stunning falls.

Here's a summary of the itinerary: start by stocking up in Tom Price before diving into the crystal-clear waters of Hammersley Gorge. Day two is all about gorge-hopping with stops at Knox, Hancock, and Joffre Falls, while day three kicks off with a sunrise hike up Mount Bruce and wraps up with a dip at Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool.

It’s a ripper of a trip that’s perfect for packing a lot into a few days without feeling rushed.

ENJOY!
