Tucked in the heart of the Pilbarra region, Karijini National Park is a national treasure. Deep rocky mountain gorges plunge into the earth, showered with cascading waterfalls, and punctuated with swimming pools of cold spring water.
As we push into the Australian fall, the temperature here as dropped to a sweltering 35 (gasp) degrees celsius. Every time I get out of the air conditioned truck, it feels like I'm melting.
I retired from my absolutely fantastic job to backpack around Australia for 6 months. I intend on doing 'a lap' of the country. I bought a van and flipped it*, bought a car and flipped it** and I'm now driving Peaches the Pajero around Australia. I have two primary objectives for my trip. I want to see the Great Barrier Reef, and I want to see a platypus.
