Karijini/Millstream Chichester Questions
Posted: Wed 31 May, 2017 4:58 pm
I've searched Bushwalk.com but couldn't find the answers to a few of my more specific questions.
My wife and I are heading up to Karijini and Millstream Chichester National Parks in July and had a few questions about the walks in the area. We're experienced bushwalkers in the South West Land Division but this is our first bushwalking trip further north than Kalbarri.
Firstly - everyone seems to mention that the Karijini walks have grossly overstated walking times. Is this correct? If so, how much are they overstated by? I know everyone is different but a rough estimate would be appreciated. Also, I've read in a few places on this forum that there are longer loop walks that you only read about once you get there. I've been able to work out that Weano and Hancock Gorges can be done together via linked trails and that Dale Gorge can be done as a loop, but are there others? I've read about but am not interested in the Class 6 canyoning walks for this trip - just walks that can be done without rope.
Secondly, while in Millstream Chichester we are planning on doing the Camel Trail from Python Pool to Mt Herbert and plan to leave some bikes at the car park and cycle back down to Python Pool. From memory, does anyone know if there is either a tree or a trailhead/signpost in the car park near Mt Herbert where we could chain our bikes?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
