Karajini and the Pilbara Video Blog

We knew that the Pilbara is full of iron ore, but we didn't expect how beautiful it can be when shaped by nature. The Banded Iron Formations are not what you expect, they are so dense and hard the rocks clink or ring like steel when dropped. This incredible hardness has meant the plateau erodes very very slowly, creating smooth, stunning red rock scales. The other unexpected feature of Karajini is its alpine nature. Most of the plateau is well over 700m and some of the peaks are over 1200m. It feels alpine, it can be very cool at night and the vegetation is almost like a heath.
