Humpback,
The road from Karijini Drive into
Dales Gorge Campground and also to the
Visitors Centre is sealed.
The roads going elsewhere from
Dales Gorge (Weano and Joffre Gorges et al) are all unsealed and can vary from smooth to horribly corrugated depending on how lucky you are, but all are good unsealed roads if you drive to the conditions. No 4WD required.
I concur with Motherhen regarding
Hamersley Gorge.
If you plan stay at
Tom Price (at the
Tom Price Tourist Park), take in a tour of the
mine. Also, if you have a 4WD, drive up to the top of Mt Nameless. A great view of the
mine and town are to be had from up there. Not a difficult climb, just a slow one.
We did a three month tour up the middle and around the West Coast where we saw
Kakadu,
Litchfield, the Bungle Bungles etc and some of the most beautiful sights we saw were at Karijini NP. Spend some good time there, don't rush. Walk down into the Gorges, especially
Fortescue Falls and behind it, the
Fern Pool.
