Pilbara WA

Camper Trailer Australia — 27 June 2014

The Pilbara is the perfect holiday destination for travellers who are seeking adventure. Covering 500,000 square kilometres of land, the Pilbara is engulfed in a 2.5 billion year old landscape. As a result it boasts stunning natural assets from beautiful waterways like the Gascoyne River to the gorges and waterfalls of Karijini National Park.

Our guide to the Pilbara takes in the Millstream-Chichester National Park, which is a must for any camper who likes to indulge in wildlife walks, as it's populated by animals and rich vegetation. Next we move onto Karijini, where highlights include Fortescue Falls, which feeds into the inviting swimming hole of Fern Pool. Finally we head east to the mining town of Newman, where you can experience creeks, pools and springs and discover ancient Australian Aboriginal art.

As well as local highlights, information about visiting National Parks and advice on where to pick up maps, find out where to book Pilbara accommodation ahead of your trip, including camping under the stars.
