Kennedy Range National Park
Crossing the Gascoyne River, near Gascoyne Junction

Mount Augustus to Gascoyne Junction

Perth, Western Australia

Today you depart the rock for yet more incredible sights. Refuel at the tourist park before you go (the bowser is open between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm daily), making sure to ask for directions to Kennedy Range National Park, as varying road conditions along the gravel will dictate which route is best. If using a GPS, set it to Temple Gorge, which is located within Kennedy Range National Park. (Otherwise, you may find yourself being routed to the other end of the mountain range.) If it’s Spring, prepare your camera: the road to Kennedy Range National Park heads west towards the Australian coastline, and as you traverse the continent Western Australia’s famous wildflowers begin appearing in thick clumps, sometimes even scattered in carpets of yellow, white, purple and red. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself pulling over more than once to take photos, but resist the urge to spend too long: there are plenty more wildflowers to see in the coming days, and the exquisite Kennedy Range is one of Australia’s most underrated sights. With a magnificent cliff face that extends for several kilometres, it would be easy to spend several days exploring the park. If time is short, however, make your way to one of the more approachable trails. Honeycomb Gorge is the park’s most popular spot; an easy 500-metre walk from the carpark (signposted) will reward you with the unusual sight of this enormous gorge, with walls pockmarked like honeycomb. While here, you may spot the area’s distinctive Dawson’s burrowing bees – these lovely native creatures can be found buzzing about the small pool at Honeycomb gorge between July and September. Perhaps explore one of the other trails (information and maps are signposted by the park entrance) before heading to the nearby town, Gascoyne Junction.
