A great adventure!

This swimming spot is truly amazing, and the brilliant part is the fun you’ll have getting there. 

The kids will love scrambling over rocks, paddling through water and squeezing through the narrows of the Jurassic Park surroundings.​

When you reach Handrail Pool, it is breathtaking! The refreshing waters against the towering bright red rock makes you feel like you’ve entered a different world.

Weano Gorge is perhaps the most accessible gorge in Karijini but also one of the most fun.

Insider Info

Baby wearing is a must if you have little ones.

From the main pool, swim further on through the narrow walls of the gorge for a more unique swimming experience!

Wear reef shoes for the walk as water crossings are involved.

Access

Access is via Karijini National Park and a 4WD is recommended as the roads are very corrugated. Entry into Karijini is $13 per car (unless you hold a WA national park pass).

Handrail Pool is a 1.2km walk from the carpark and is not suitable for wheelchairs or prams. Carry as little as possible.

In the Area...

Karijini is full of beautiful walks and unique swimming spots. Some of the best stops when visiting with little ones are:

• Fortescue Falls. It is a perfect spot for the kids, an easy 800m walk takes you to the falls and a safe swimming hole.
• Joffre and Knox lookouts. Both lookouts are awesome, just a hop, skip and jump from the carpark these lookout platforms are well worth checking out.
• Tom Price. It is the nearest ‘town’ to Karijini National Park, and it is great to explore the mining town. The kids will love seeing all the mining equipment!
