Hiking Nhamurrunha, Kalamina Gorge, Karijini National Park, WA

Karijini National Park has 6 amazing gorge walks that we completed. Nhamurrunha (Kalamina Gorge) was our first to explore just as Tropical Cyclone Ilsa was hitting land about 300 km to the north west. Kalamina Gorge is a Class 4 trail, 3km return. Allow 1-3 hrs for the walk (or 30 min to reach the main pool). Traditional owners of the land include the Banyjima, Kurrama, and Innawonga peoples. 0:00 Dales campground sign, and Tropical Cyclone Isla pathway 0:16 Camping in T-van 0:30 Descent into Nhamurrunha (Kalamina Gorge) 0:55 Rocky ledge waterfall into the main pool 1:50 Unusual rock patterns 2:12 Crossing water on rock steps 2:51 Thin waisted, yellow striped Mud-dauber Wasp (Sceliphron spp.); shield bug nymph; Scarlet Percher dragonfly 3:28 Rock striations 3:42 Congratulations sign at end of Kalamina Gorge trail 3:53 Unusual rock patterns - lots 4:44 Back along rock slabs 6:01 Cyclone summary (spoiler: it missed us) 6:12 Epic sunset at Dales Campground 6:36 Lizard - Southern Pilbara Rock Monitor (goanna, Varanus hamersleyensis) Share the experience as we capture the essence of hiking trails and travel as we camp around Australia, non-narrated.
