Karijini National Park
Dales Gorge - Circular Pool - Fortescue Falls and Rim Walk

Back

Notes:

Today we were going to do a circuit walk around Dales Gorge.  We drove to the car park nearest the Circular Lookout.  Starting our walk we headed to the Circular Pool Lookout, then moved on to Three Ways Lookout.  We then went down to the bottom of the gorge via a rough and rocky track.  At the bottom we turned left and walked along the gorge floor to the Circular Pool at the end.  Here many people take a dip.  Retracing our steps back to the walk junction we continued straight down the track till we arrived at Fortescue Falls.  Climbing up again via the delightful stairs to the top of the rim we continued our walk along the rough rim track till we returned to our starting point at the Circular lookout point and the car park.  This was a very interesting walk, with lovely views. It also included some interesting dragonflies and a goanna catching a small skink, a sight I've never seen before.
