100 Best Views In Australia #63 Fern Pool, WA
"It’s so peaceful to sit and listen to the water falling, and to see the wildlife that makes this place home" - Paul Welch
Where is it?
1600km north of Perth, in Karijini National Park
How to see it for yourself?
Access to the National Park is via sealed Karijini Drive. Most roads inside the park are gravel, but 2WD accessible. Follow the signs to Fortescue Falls. From there, take the walking track into Dales Gorge and past Fortescue Falls then turn right to Fern Pool.
Why I love it
“Of all the beautiful places in WA, my favourite is walking through the Gorges of Karijini. Fern Pool has a very spiritual feel to it. It’s so peaceful to sit and listen to the water falling, and to see the wildlife that makes this place home. You have to get to this place.” – Paul Welch, photographer
