The Pilbara doesn’t need an epic movie like Priscilla or Nicole and Hughs effort to be noticed.
In fact, the Rose Porteous and Gina Rinehart arm wrestle over Langs fine iron ore assets, also seems out of place. It’s far too down to earth for all this carry on. It’s a dramatic, tassle free, no fuss, blokey, petrol stationless (at times), land mass that is the perfect location for a King Gee ad. It’s the location of some of the biggest iron ore super pits the world over.
The jewel of the Pilbara would have to be Karijini National Park.
Jammed with gorges and water features, this park is as snappy as its name.
We spent a night at Dales Campground and guess who was camping next to us – no other than Dan Tyrell and fam – a former St Kevins student with whom I spent 7 years of my school life. How about that – out the middle of a very impressive no-where.
Anyway the next day we had a shower at the fern pool.
We also walked across the top of Dales Gorge and checked out Fortescue falls.
Then we snaked our way back to the coast in pursuit of Ningaloo reef.
