THE PILBARA

 

We quickly restocked in Exmouth, thinking we would be staying at a place called Giralia Station, but when we arrived it was closed for the weekend.  Typical!  So onwards we pushed, to the next road stop which was over an hours drive further on.  Luckily it was ok, except for the red bull dust…lovely. 

Heading into the Pilbara and the scenery is fantastic.  It’s so nice to drive and have something to look at.  Red Mountains covered in spinifex grass which makes them look fury. 

Tom Price was very average, so we kept going to Karijine National Park. Dales campground is beside Dales Gorge.  Just a toilet, nothing else.  It is so peaceful and quiet. 

3/06/12  Up early, we packed lunch and were very eager to explore Dales Gorge.  At the lookout looking 80meters down to Circular pool, we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy walk. We scaled down the cliff side slowly, followed the semi marked path to the pool.  First ones there, we dived in and froze.  It was beautiful.

On to Fortescue Falls and Fern Pools.  Beautiful waterfalls, colours, spectacular scenery we have not seen before.
