Karijini National Park – Day 2

I slept 100x better last night than I did the previous night – the heat of the fire kept me warm, and I only woke up once during the night. Regarding our tour group: at first I wasn’t “feeling it”, …

Karijini National Park – Day 1

You can read all the Lonely Planet and other Australian guidebooks you want, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find much info about Karijini. This is probably due to the fact that it wasn’t even discovered until the 1980′s… and also, …

Exmouth to Tom Price

Woke up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 to depart for Karijini at 6:30. But we had to wait til 7 for a newbie who was supposed to meet us and join the tour, but never showed up. The whole …

We left camp at 8:30 and …
