Travel Guide

From memory I shot this just before I descended the ladder.  It gives you a good idea of the colours of the region.

This place is surreal.  I loved the way the sublety of the colours changed with the late afternoon sun.  Apparently, if you go along the left hand side you can ultimately descend into the gorge but we never made it that far.
This was the first canyon I visited at Karijini N.P.  You have to climb down a ladder to get into it but it's simply amazing when you're down there.  The colours of the rocks is not exaggerated in any way.
We returned to the motorhome for lunch and moved on to Knox Gorge, some 20 kilometres away.  This too was special and I learned that it actually links up with where we were earlier in the day and you can do an 8 hour trek from here and come up the ladder at Hancock Gorge.  That would be one heck of a day!
The light wasn’t right at Knox though so we moved around to nearby Joffre Falls where it was better, though it was just on sunset so there wasn’t much time left.  The evening hues were the like of which I’d never seen before.  Strange ochres beguiled the eye and the reflections of sunset kissed canyon tops in the water below had an air of magic about them.  The whole scene was surreal and true all at the same time.
The splashing of the water down the steps of the cascade just added to the allure as I watched it then move through crystalline pools shaded by the erratic cliffs whose ancient layers would dazzle red in the noonday sun.
Everything about it could be explained except the overwhelming feeling that this place was something special and I wouldn’t see its like again.

I read reviews on this property before booking, so my expectations were low. It was criticized as being over-priced for what you get. True, it is expensive, but considering that the nearest town to an hour away and there are no other accommodations
