Weano Gorge — Attraction in Karijini

Awesome trek through Weano Gorge. Climbing down into the gorge from the carpark is like entering an another world. We thoroughly enjoyed meandering along, rock hopping and looking for turtles in the pools. The path was easy to negotiate and the scenery was amazing. We continued onto the Handrail Pool section.

But it's a great spot for swim. It really is a different world down...
