Karijini National Park WA

Karijini National Park was something really enjoyable. In Karijini we visited the Fern pools and the Fortesque Falls, I definitely enjoyed both of them. Fortesque Falls had a close look at the waterfall which unfortunately I forgot to go have a look at. Although at the Fern pools I made up for that forgetfulness when Dad, Mum, Luke and I swam over to the waterfall and sat under it, the water beat down on my legs so hard that they almost felt num when I try to swim back.

We visited the Hancock Gorge which is where the Kermit’s pool water hole is. I liked the walk to the pools a tad better than the swim in the pool, not because the pool was bad but on the walk we had to swim instead of walk because the water was too deep. Then after some more walking we (didn’t have to, but chose to) spider walked to the pool. At Kermit’s pool there were stable rock cliffs which towered over the small pool beneath. On the other side of the pool there was a guy setting up an abseiling course going further along the gorge.

We visited the handrail pool which did live up to its name because the only way to get in and out of the pool was to use the handrail going almost vertical up the rock wall with a few small steps. Dad and I swam to the other side of the pool, which was quite cold.

During the day we also visited some awesome lookouts.
