Port Hedland Attractions - Things to do
Karijini National Park is one of the most stunning natural attractions in Western Australia. Ancient gorges, waterfalls, clear rock pools, and amazing hiking trails place this on the must see list. For the not so adventurous there is easy walking access to lookouts providing awesome scenery. The more adventurous can climb into deep chasms, explore tunnels of marbled rock, and paddle through waterways. This National Park took 2 billion years to make. Picnic areas, camping sites, and permanent water pools make this the ideal pace to visit.
