The Pilbara, WA

Twice the size of the United Kingdom, the Pilbara region of Western Australia may be home to massive mining industry, however it is juxtaposed with some of the world's most stunning ancient natural landscapes. Inland you will find the breathtaking Karijini National park with its rocky canyons and peaceful oases, while the coastline provides striking white beaches and coral gardens of the Dampier Archipelago and Mackerel Islands. Western Australia's highest altitude town, Tom Price, and the hottest town in Australia, Marble Bar, are incredible, unique outback communities that provide memorable experiences to those new to the desert way of life. No matter what sparks your interest, the Pilbara is sure to surprise and delight.
