Here is our list of our
favourite things in WA out of the bits we have seen:
Favourite NP: Purnululu and
Karijini (not very original)
We couldn’t decide… Purnululu
was amazing just for the sheer beauty of the place and great walks. It was one
of those step back and wow moments. A lot of people say that you can in a day-
we disagree! You don’t get a true
perspective of the place unless you take your time to do most of the gorge
walks. Karijini is another one of those breathtaking places (it seems such a
blasé statement). Obviously the gorges were amazing but what made it more
special was the geological history of this place with the vast scale of
untouched horizontal Banded Iron Formations going for many kilometres on end to
then find large scale intricate folding at Hammersley Gorge. It was a
spectacular place.
Favourite Free Camp: Spring
Creek Rest Area
This rest area is situated next
to the turn off for Purnululu NP. If you head down to the bottom camp area near
the creek there is lots of shade, toilets and the pegs went in the ground with
no issues- the extra plus!
Favourite NP Campground:
Drafty’s Camp, Warren NP
Great facilities with toilet,
firepits, non-potable water and camp kitchen including gas hobs! It had
individual bays too but what made it stand out as well was the price. $7.50 per
adult for the facilities was great value in comparison to other NP in WA.
Best Campground/ Caravan Park:
Hamelin Station Stay
This was one of our favourite
paid stop offs overall so far. The facilities are brilliant, the camp kitchen
well equipped, the owners are lovely with a subsequent homely vibe about the
place. What impressed us most was how they turned this homestead into a lovely
place for people of all ages and stages of their life to enjoy. It is just a
great place to stay!
