Karijini Experience returns to Pilbara with hope to highlight mining region’s creative side

Deep in the heart of the Pilbara desert, the pristine gorges and towering red rocks of Karijini National Park are a natural oasis in an otherwise harsh outback landscape.

For one week in April, almost 2,000 locals and tourists flock to the spot to celebrate not just nature, but culture.

The Karijini Experience was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

But it was back in full swing in 2021, shining a spotlight on WA artists and local Indigenous art and stories.
