Who Was Tom Price?
The town was named after Thomas Moore Price, who worked for the American company,
Kaiser Steel. Arriving in the early 1960s to appraise the deposits of ore; he was instrumental
in convincing mining companies to mine in the area. Thomas was also extremely influential in
persuading the Western Australian Government to allow mining to proceed and for the ore to
be exported.
April – September (Peak Season)
Minimum: 7-17ºC
Maximum: 23-31ºC
October – March (Low Season)
Please monitor the weather

In September 1962 at the age of 71, Thomas Moore returned to America. He passed away
from a heart attack at his desk, only two hours after being advised of the very rich ore deposit
discovered within the mountain in the town. In recognition of Thomas Moore Price and his
efforts during the foundation of the industry, the mountain and town were named in his honour.

Things to See and Do
About Karijini
Karijini National Park is Western Australia’s
second largest National Park and one of the
most spectacular sights in the Pilbara.
One of Karijini’s big attractions is
that its scenery is so accessible;
you can simply pull into a car
park, walk 50m and peer into a
100m canyon to see waterfalls
and emerald-coloured rock pools.
The park has a system of
excellent walking trails that suit
everyone from the beginner to the
adventurous. Choose your route
and be ready to explore deep into
subterranean gorges and through
waterfalls where you can swim in
the park’s sparkling rock pools.
6
The most popular time to visit
is between May and September.
When exploring the park, it is
imperative that you read and
obey all signs, stay only on the
marked pathways and ensure
that you do not wander near the
edges of gorges due to loose and
crumbling rocks. Please ensure
that you carry enough water, wear
sturdy footwear and if it starts
to rain leave as flash flooding
can occur.
Weano Gorge
Joffre Falls
(Oxer Lookout/Handrail Pool)
On the western side of the
park is Joffre Gorge, where
water cascades down a cliff
face with step-like rocks to
a dark pool. The gorge then
narrows and the water is
pushed through a smaller gap,
where rushing white waters
tumble over smooth black rock.
Especially impressive after rain,
this spectacular curved waterfall
forms a natural amphitheatre.
Weano Gorge is possibly the best
introduction to Karijini as there is a
little bit of something for everyone to
enjoy. There are easy walks around the
top of the gorge which are accessible
from the Weano Gorge day use area.
For the adventurous, Weano offers a
challenging climb over boulders through
narrow passages to Handrail Pool.
Oxer Lookout, located in the
Weano Gorge day use area, provides
unsurpassed views out over the
junction of Weano, Red, Hancock and
Joffre Gorges. From there, the sheer
enormity and grandeur of the gorges
is evident.
The lookout near the car park at
Joffre Falls enables you to take in
the beauty of this stunning gorge
and to appreciate its scale.

Knox Gorge
Mount Bruce
One of the most accessible of
Karijini’s gorges. A 5 minute walk
will take you down a steep track
to the base of the gorge to a
small permanent pool, complete
with waterfall and draping ferns.
If you follow the trail into Kalamina
Gorge, you will be rewarded with
a lovely walk downstream, past
rock pools and beautiful rock
walls. With its delightful trail and
picnicking area, Kalamina Gorge
is a great introduction to the
gorge system. There is a small car
park with information shelter and
toilets. Access to Kalamina can be
corrugated and 4WD is preferred.
(Fortescue Falls/Circular
Pool/Fern Pool)
Knox Gorge is a deep chasm.
Make a point of visiting Knox Lookout
late in the afternoon or early in the
morning, when the slanting sun rays
enhance this spectacular panorama.
Also known as Punurrunha by the
local aboriginal people, Mount Bruce
is the second highest mountain
in Western Australia at 1,235m.
Offering one of the State’s most
stunning panoramic views, the
peak also overlooks the Marandoo
Mine Site. Accessible by foot only,
the vigorous climb is approximately
a 6 hour return trip and is
recommended to be undertaken
early morning. Ensure you carry
plenty of water.
Dales Pool
On the east side of the Karijini
National Park is Dales Gorge,
home to three of Karijini’s highlights:
Fortescue Falls, Circular Pool and
Fern Pool.
Enjoy a swim in the refreshing
permanent waters and lay like a
lizard on a rock warming itself in the
sun. From Fortescue Falls turn right
to Fern Pool, 300m, or left for the
three hour return walk to Circular
Pool. Fern Pool is about a 10 minute
walk and is one of the most
picturesque settings in the park.
Hancock Gorge
Hancock Gorge is simply stunning
but best appreciated with a local
guide. The walk down into Hancock
Gorge has been described as a
‘journey to the centre of the earth’.
After climbing down a ladder,
you wander into the gorge which
narrows into a huge chamber and an
attractive setting of small rock pools
and marbled walls. Extreme caution
should be taken when entering
Hancock Gorge.
Hamersley Gorge
Located on the north west edge
of Karijini National Park, it is
approximately a 1 hour drive
from the Karijini Drive/Hamersley
Mount Bruce intersection.
Spectacular rock formation and
unusual colours make this gorge a
photographer’s delight. Hamersley
is a very popular swimming spot
for families due to is accessibility.
No camping is permitted.

National Park
Deep Reach Pool
About Millstream Chichester
Millstream Chichester National Park is a
200,000 hectare area surrounding the
Fortescue River.
Millstream echoes the soul of the Pilbara with its rugged gorges
contrasting against tropical rock pools, meandering watercourses
and water-lily blanketed wetlands. The heartland of the Yindjibarndi
people, the park is of great Aboriginal significance as it is the
home of the mythological serpent, the ‘Warlu’.
Things to See and Do
Deep Reach Pool
A short 200m walk from the car park will bring you to Deep Reach, which
is a very large, wide pool and home of Barrimurdi, the Warlu, or serpent.
The Yinjibarndi people ask that you treat the site with respect and keep
noise to a minimum. Swimming, canoes, kayaks and sailboards are
welcome at Deep Reach. Motorised watercraft of any kind however,
is not permitted due to the cultural significance of the area. Fishing is
permitted. Please ensure you use entry steps to access the water as
there may be submerged trees and rocks. Toilets are located at the car
park and BBQs are close to the water’s edge, making it a perfect spot
for the whole family.
Swimming is not permitted at Jirndawurrunha Pool near the Homestead
or surrounding streams because of their cultural significance to the
traditional Aboriginal custodians.

Python Pool waterfall
Python Pool
One of the park’s most popular
locations. Enjoy a picnic and
refreshing swim in the permanent
freshwater plunge pool at the base of
the Chichester Range escarpment.
The day use area has a BBQ available
and a number of walking trails leading
from the area. Please note that the
pool can be dangerous after rain due
to currents and debris, and from algal
blooms in the dry season.
The Homestead Trail
Explore station life from the 1930s
at Millstream through the eyes of a
12 year old boy. It is an easy 750m
return walk.
Accommodation
Camping is available at Miliyanha and
Stargazers campground. Miliyanha
has a camp kitchen, toilets and is
generator-friendly. It has some shade
in the mornings and afternoons.
