 Description of Carawine Gorge
Located on the Oakover River and not far from Woodie Woodie. Bitumen road to within 15 kilometres and then an easy gravel track in. Once there it is a sand bed to get close to the water hole. Best camping down to the right now that the trees are gone.

Carrawine Gorge is located within the Warrawagine Station however tourism access is managed by CALM, although this site remains free to visit. Track Care WA Inc.

have put on hold plans to install an eco-toilet due to devastation and flooding caused in March 2004 by Cyclone Fay.

This site has long been a favourite camping area, with a long gorge lined by pebbles and massive river red gums. The cyclone has actually ripped out and washed away all the gums. See before and after pictures above.

 Treks passing Carawine Gorge
East Pilbara Diversion
A great alternative trip avoiding the highways that is both a shortcut and very scenic. Shay Gap to Marble Bar and then along the Ripon Hills and Skull Springs loop around Carrawine Gorge and Eel Pool. [Feature Story]
