THE PILBARA
The
Pilbara is the region immediately to the west of the Kimberley. It
contains some of the most interesting and least known bushwalking
country in Australia. Most of our trips take place in Karijini
National Park and the Hamersley Ranges where deep, spectacular,
red-walled gorges hide magnificent pools and waterfalls. We occasionally run trips in the little-known Chichester Range in
Millstream-Chichester National Park where we explore deep into the
heart of the range seeking out hidden pools and gorges which will
remain forever unknown to non-walkers. Our Pilbara trips depart from Tom Price.

Our April and June-July Pilbara-Karijini tours depart from Tom Price. The Tom Price Tourist Buerau website has more information about the town and the area.
Weather
The Pilbara climate is similar to, but somewhat warmer than that in the Red Centre. Winter is the most comfortable time, so all our trips take place during winter.
