About Karijini National Park Australia
Karijini (formerly Hamersley Range National Park) is the second
largest national park in WA. Situated just north of the Tropic
of Capricorn, the park's climate can best be described as tropical
semi-desert. The ideal times to visit the park are late autumn,
winter and early spring. Winter days are warm and clear, but nights
are cold and sometimes frosty.
Karijini National Park protects many different wildlife
habitats, landscapes, plants and animals of the Pilbara. Wildflowers
vary with the seasons. In the cooler months the land is covered
with yellow-flowering cassias and wattles, northern bluebells
and purple mulla-mullas. After rain many plants bloom profusely.
It is also home to a variety of birds, red kangaroos and euros,
rock-wallabies, echidnas and several bat species. Geckos, goannas,
dragons, legless lizards, pythons and other snakes are abundant.
Huge termite mounds are a feature of the landscape and the rock
piles of the rare pebble mound mouse may be found in spinifex
country.

red sandstone cliffs and the endless expanse of white sand at
Cable Beach....the colours and moods of Broome will capture your
soul. You'll never want to leave.
