Hancock Gorge, Karijini National Park. The Pilbara is known as Australia's mining powerhouse, but also contains amazing scenery throughout its deserts, mountain ranges and gorges. Karijini National Park is the second largest national park in Western Australia and one of the most spectacular sights in the Pilbara. With breathtaking gorges, crystal clear rock pools, waterfalls, and stunning scenery, a visit to Karijini is a must. Climbing through the many rocky gorges is an unforgettable experience.
 |
| The Pilbara is a barren, scorched land, a harsh place reputed for hard work and hard living. Gorges are carved, knife-like, into the earth. Water is flowing. |
 |
| The traditional owners of Karijini are the Banyjima, Kurrama and Innawonga Aboriginal tribes. |

| Regan's Pool lies downstream of Kermit's Pool in Hancock Gorge. Abseiling equipment is required to proceed further. Formerly known as Plunge Pool, Regan's Pool was renamed in honour of SES volunteer Jim Regan, who lost his life in 2004 when a flash flood struck during a rescue. |
