Karijini National Park in Australia’s Pilbara region in Western Australia is the country’s second largest park, offering more than 6216 square kilometres of mountains and escarpments rising from flat valleys, rocky water pools, waterfalls and unique wildlife like red kangaroos and rock wallabies. While the water of the gorges and pools can be alarmingly cold, summer temperatures in the desert environment can soar to more than 40°C. Summer is also the wet season here.
