Karijini National Park is one of the highlights of the Australian West Coast. Make sure to take at least 2 days to explore it, and a third one to climb to the top of Mt Bruce just next to the park!

🇫🇷 Le Parc National de Karijini est l’un des plus beaux endroits de la côte ouest Australienne. Faites en sorte d’avoir au moins 2 jours pour le visiter, et un troisième pour monter au sommet du Mt Bruce juste à côté du parc !

Karijini National Park is located in an area very rich in iron, and mining is the first activity of the area. You might bump into some giant tools like this one on your way to the park.

Fern Pool. The little waterfall on the other side is sacred for aboriginal people, it’s allowed to swim here but it’s forbidden to dive so you have to use the handrail to get into the water
