Starting from the car park at the end of Kalamina Road, Karijini National Park, this walk takes you past Kalamina Falls, then along Kalamina Gorge to Rock Arch Pool and back. Arguably the most underrated gorge walk in Karijini National Park, Kalamina Gorge is one of the lesser-known attractions due to it being located deep within the park. While not as deep as the other gorges, Kalamina makes up for it by offering a unique and picturesque experience of stunning reflections on still pools and glowing red walls. Kalamina Gorge has more trees and plants than most gorges in the national park, making the area around its watercourse shaded and more picturesque. You'll come across a track that will take you to a seasonal waterfall after descending into the gorge via the man-made steps. Although the waterfall is seasonal, the rock pool there is permanent. To explore the gorge further, it's a relatively easy walk through the gorge itself, following the watercourse downstream past rock pools and beautiful rock walls to Rock Arch Pool. You'll need to use the stepping stones a few times to pass the creek. The walk is largely on uneven, rocky and unmodified terrain. The gradients are gentle, with only a short, steep descent into the gorge. The circle markers attached to the rock will guide you along which side of the gorge you are meant to be walking along. Keep an eye out for spots to swim as there are many along the way, with deep and clear water. Drinking water, toilets and an information shelter are present at the car park. The combination of wide gorge walking, the beauty of Rock Arch Pool and the relaxed nature of the hike make this a perfect walk for adventurous young families. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Ranger's Office just off Park Road, Hovea, this walk leads to Hovea Falls and back via the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail. Nestled up in Perth Hills are the small but charming Hovea Falls, flowing over smooth mossy rocks on the Jane Brook. The journey to the falls is a short stroll along the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail as it passes through John Forrest National Park, following the route of the old Eastern Railway. There's plenty of wildlife to observe along the way including many native birds, kangaroos and bandicoots, while the wildflowers colour the landscape in the springtime. Hovea Falls is a very slow, undulating waterfall, and the best time of the year to see it in full flow is in winter, after heavy rains. In the summer months the falls can be very dry, providing the opportunity to use the rocks as stepping stones to explore the falls and discover little pools where the water has collected. On a hot day you may want to cool off in the fresh river water. The trail is a mostly flat and well signposted gravel track, suitable for walking, cycling and even horse riding. The park has excellent recreational facilities including barbecues, picnic areas, and the John Forrest Wildflower Tavern, where you can enjoy a pint of beer, the house wine or a soft drink after finishing your hike.

Walk
1 h to 1 h 30 min

Starting from the Echidna Chasm car park off the Great Northern Highway, Purnululu National Park, this walk takes you past the Osmand Lookout, then into Echidna Chasm via the Echidna Chasm Trail. A little walk off the main track will take you to a lookout where you can get exceptional views of the Osmand Range. After visiting the lookout, you'll follow the dry creek bed that leads into Echidna Chasm. The start of the walk is hot and exposed, but soon you'll be in the cool shelter of the tall chasm, surrounded by towering walls of conglomerate rock with remarkable colour variations. Signs along the walk describe how the chasm was formed, and the boulders along the path let you have an idea about the origin of the Bungle Bungle Range. The walk gets more challenging towards the end of the chasm, requiring some scrambling over large boulders and climbing up ladders. Sturdy footwear is recommended as walking over the boulders can be tough on the ankles. Daytime temperatures can exceed 40°C, so be sure to bring plenty of drinking water, a hat and sunscreen. The best time of the day to visit Echidna Chasm is around noon when the sun is directly overhead. This is the only time when sunlight penetrates into the chasm, creating an amazing spectacle with light bouncing off the walls.

Starting from the car park at the end of Point Peron Road, Peron, this walk takes you on a circuit around the coastline of Cape Peron. Cape Peron, known locally as Point Peron, is a coastal beauty and the headland at Rockingham Lakes Regional Park, just a few minutes drive from the city centre of Rockingham. The area is known for its protected sandy beaches, rugged limestone cliffs, offshore reefs and panoramic sea views, and is home to many different family-friendly trails. Cape Peron is surrounded by the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, which is home to bottlenose dolphins, Australian sea lions, loggerhead turtles and a variety of birdlife, including penguins. The calm and clear waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking, while the shoreline makes for some very scenic walks. Plenty of coves, beaches and viewpoints are present, along with WW2 ruins. Enjoy the coastal beauty of Cape Peron on a walk along its shores, or take the plunge to explore some of the underwater features of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. This is a relatively short walk, but the panoramic ocean views you'll get from almost every possible angle may prolong the time you'll spend. More if you decide to explore all the coves and lookouts. The walk can be considered easy and is mostly wheelchair-friendly. Dogs are allowed, as long as they're kept on a leash. Along the mainland foreshore of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, there are water stations, toilets, barbecues, picnic tables and several locations to purchase provisions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
