Maps & resources
Guide updated · orientation only · official maps win
Use these orientation maps, then verify track status, closures, camping and facilities on Explore Parks WA — Karijini National Park. Official visitor materials and alerts beat any third-party map. Do not treat Dales (east) and Weano / Eco Retreat (west) as five minutes apart.
Dales Gorge / eastern hub
Eastern swimming classics — Fortescue Falls, Fern Pool, Handrail approach and Dales Campground trailheads. Confirm track and pool status on the day.
Interactive map — pin may be approximate. Confirm trailheads and road status before you drive.
Oxers Lookout / Weano area
Western lookout and gorge cluster — Oxers, Weano, Handrail Pool approaches. Not five minutes from Dales; plan transfer time.
Interactive map — pin may be approximate. Confirm trailheads and road status before you drive.
Karijini Eco Retreat / Joffre
Commercial overnight base near the western gorges — separate booking system from Park Stay WA Dales Campground.
Interactive map — pin may be approximate. Confirm trailheads and road status before you drive.
Tom Price (services hub)
Practical fuel, food, recovery and many overnight stays. Realistic day-trip base for focused gorge days with an early start.
Interactive map — pin may be approximate. Confirm trailheads and road status before you drive.
Hamersley Gorge
Western outlier — beautiful folded rock and spa-pool reflections when conditions allow. Give it its own window; do not treat it as a casual add-on after Weano.
