Tuesday March 13th 2012 Day 12 Day trip to Karijini National Park WA

Up at 6am and Brad comes home from Night shift. What are we doing today? Well we decide to head off for a 650Km round trip with Brad and Michelle to Karijini National Park in The Hamersley Ranges.

Fortescue Falls Dales Gorge Karijini National Park
Went went to Dales Gorge and proceeded to walk down many deep steps and after about 20minutes we eventually came to the Fortescue Waterfall and pond where there were several people swimming. We proceeded to walk further until we reached the Fern Pool where Brad, Michelle and I went in for a dip. Darren couldn't be bothered after driving 300kms. The water was cool and very clear, you could see fish swimming in there.
It is such a very pretty place deep in the gorge. After walking back to the top we drove to another area of the gorge called the Circular Pool. After a short walk along a dusty path we came to a iron railing and one hell of a drop where this pool lies far below. I'd say at least 100metres.

On the way we had to pull over for a couple of oversized loads. Both loads required most of the road and two rigs joined together to pull them. Coming home we caught up with them again except this time we had to overtake them at 110kms with two wheels in the dirt Scary stuff.

Interesting loads that required us getting out of the way
