Karijini National Park and the Pilbara

On 15. March, we headed inland to the Pilbara, a region of Western Australia famous for mining and the amazing Karijini National Park. In the national park, we climbed Mt Bruce for an impressive view over the Pilbara, and explored several gorges, including the Weano Gorge, Knox Gorge, Dales Gorge and Hancock Gorge. This whole region was an absolute highlight of WA.

The beautiful light is part of what makes this place so special.
