Tom Price & Karijini National Park

We travelled on the Rio Tinto Road to Tom Price
the road follows the train line

Many trains - I counted 234 carriages on 1 train, 3 engines

lots of red dust on everything!

The car had a service & then got 'driven into the deep end' straight away - up Mount Nameless in 4WD in low gear

What is left of Mt Tom Price - a lot of iron ore has come out of this hole

Hamersley Gorge

stunning rocks!

We drove to Karijini National Park

Fortescue Falls from the cliff top

we walked down to the falls & then along to Fern Pool

lots of ferns :)

we then walked from Fern Pool along the bottom of Dale's Gorge - Les thought the rocks needed steadying

while I went barefoot for lots of the class 3 walking trail

we reached circular pool & then climbed back up the cliff - not like stairs at all - more like a rock wall climbing course

this is the view of circular pool from the top
(in the centre in the shadows)
 we then walked back along the rim of Dale's Gorge to our starting point

who would have thought?
