Hamersley Gorge

We loved the drive into Hamersley Gorge. Very striking countryside.

 

All gorges in the Pilbara seem to involve a scramble down a steep-sided cliff face. So worth it though. Looking into Hamersley Gorge.

 

The folds in the rock are the most striking feature of Hamersley Gorge.

 

Steve and Denise at Hamersley Gorge. Note the folds in the rock on the far side of the pool.

 

Waterfalls tumble down into pools, then again and again before reaching the large pool at the bottom and continuing through the gorge.

Envigoratingly chilly! Hamersley Gorge
