Karijini Western Australia

Fortesque Gorge


The historic town of Roebourne and the ghost town of Cossack are amongst the oldest settlements in WA

Most of the walking tracks and facilities are concentrated along the north eastern escarpments where the most beautiful gorges lie.
Each gorge is remarkably different from the next.
There are several short walks along cliff tops;
the most noteworthy culminating at Oxer lookout that overlooks the junction of four spectacular chasms Hancock, Joffre, Red and Weano gorges.

Visitors can venture into the gorges but must be fit and ready to dip into the ice-cold waters and cling to rock ledges whilst following narrow paths.
The waterfalls at Joffre Gorge and Fortesque Gorge are definite highlights.
