Hancock Gorge in Karijini National Park is an absolute ripper – it’s hands down one of my faves because the scramble to get in is such a blast! You’ll climb, shimmy, and wade your way through this epic natural playground. Pro tip: ditch the hiking boots and chuck on some sandals or grippy reef shoes because you’ll be in and out of the water, and it can get super slippery in spots.

The trek itself is next-level fun – think narrow rock passages and those iconic Karijini reds everywhere. At the end, you’re rewarded with this stunning, almost surreal pool. It’s the perfect spot to chill after the adventure in, but trust me, head there early to beat the crowds and soak it all up in peace.
