Karijini National Park | A Definitive Guide! | 4x4 Adventures in Australia | Hidden Camp

Welcome to Jafffa Adventures where Jill and Terry take off for a half year trip through the remote regions of South Australia and Western Australia. The genesis of the trip was the solar eclipse at Exmouth on April 20th, but we decided to turn the adventure into half a year on the road visiting the most remote places we could get. In this video we continue to explore Karijini National Park, or the old name of Hamersley Range National Park. We visit some very remote spots in this park, areas that are off the beaten tourist path. We will share with you all the highlights and remote places to visit in and around this overlanding mecca, including detailed maps and explanations that show you how to get to all these great spots. Come join us!
If West Australia 4WD and off road tracks are not on your bucket list, they should be!!
If you like overlanding, if you like remote unspoiled places, if you like 4WD action, then this is the place to be.

Terry and Jill , I love Your attitude about only leaving foot prints , in all Your Jafffa Adventures , the Jafffa Crew always respected the country and tracks , going out of Your way , not do damage and keep water crossing to a minimum .... Keep up the good work , both are Hero in Outback Touring and Tread Softly .... Cheers ....

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Dave, I’m glad that respecting the land is coming through in our videos because that’s very important to us. Thanks for coming on the journey with us mate, that means a lot👍😎

[@davewilson7313]

Thanks , in 1985 I did a road trip from Sana a to Hodeidah in Yemen , during this trip , You knew You coming to a village because a few KMs before and after the villages littering the desert was plastic bags , fast forward to Aust today , You know You are coming up to a camp site , is the amount of toilet paper and rubbish lying about , some people should stay home , some of big boys on You Tube are doing more damage than good with their videos , full noise , wheel spining and lifting action .... Cheers @@JafffaAdventures

[@JafffaAdventures]

Agree mate, big lift, I nearly rolled it, huge wheel spins all get the clicks. It would be good if a lot of these big names on the large channels were less self absorbed and were more giving of their time and appreciation for the bush. I guess that does not get the clicks, nor the moola. Cheers👍😎

[@oxylus7223]

You're getting pretty good at this youtube gig, mate! The editing to the music was great! It looks amazing out there, quintessential outback Australia, if you ask me. Thanks for the video.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thank you mate, that’s very kind of you to say. I still have an enormous amount to learn about shooting and editing video, but I do try and make incremental improvements to what I do. I’m glad it’s coming across on the small screen. Cheers 👍😎

Hi Terry and Jill, living the dream! Terry, you couldn’t have put it any other way about using the your diff locks. The heros who think it is weak to use them are the ones having our tracks and access to our country closed. Diff locks and other technoloies are to assist for a reason, people dont have any mechanical sympathy for their vehicles and equipment. Cheers 👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

Cheers Chris, we are certainly humbled to be able to travel this amazing country of ours like we do. Mechanical sympathy is certainly your friend, even more so in remote locations like this. Thanks for sharing mate, I sincerely appreciate it 👍😎

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

Another WOW! moment!! You can't beat those red cliffs, white gums & reflections on the water. Those kinds of camping spots are hard to leave especially only spending 1 night there! Even a "flat day" is made better with such beautiful scenery like that!!! Oh! I can't help but feel for those who were in the cruiser, it must not have been good😥 Yes, back to the diff locks again, I'm a firm believer, 1). they are actually a cheap investment in the overall cost of a vehicle 2). if you have them, use them as you mention Terry it's kinder on your vehicle but it certainly is also kinder on the country too (I've followed some very obviously open wheelers into many places where they've cut the tracks up, so part of my vehicle prep is to also think about how you leave your foot prints, not just getting through, so I couldn't agree more with your statement!! 👍👍Thanks once again for some fantastic footage, I had an early knock off today so I couldn't wait to grab a beer & see what you had install (& as per usual, it was awesome!!) Cheers Guys!!

[@JafffaAdventures]

Early knock offs are the best Rod....well second to not working at all of course😉. Sounds like your travel philosophy is very similar to ours mate, leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos👍😎

[@jebw]

Wow, Magic Pool was so picturesque. Great photography.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, it was indeed epic 👍😎

[@crispyinasia61]

Great pix Terry and Jill, definitely one to add to the list. 🙂👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Andrew. Magic pool is a cracking spot and one that is rarely on the Karijini itinerary of most visitors. Cheers👍😎

[@crispyinasia61]

Absolutely, never heard of it till you brought it up Terry, do now, so will chuck in for next time

[@JafffaAdventures]

Nice one👍😎

Thanks Craig, that’s very kind of you to say mate. Glad to have you with us👍😎

Gees Terry it must have been tough camping at those lagoons with the river red gums so beautiful.

[@JafffaAdventures]

I’m telling ya Andrew, it was murder😉😎👍

[@HammerRocks]

Ouch - that white 100 Series. When I see relatively new abandoned breakdowns like that, it sends chills to my spine, as it could easily be me. Excellent exploration episode. 👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, and yes I’m with you…very scary indeed

[@gregwhittingham1909]

Thankyou for the great memories

[@JafffaAdventures]

No worries at all mate, thanks for joining us👍😎

[@svenfokkema3440]

Many thanks for another great video. This one brought back some fond memories. We visited the region during our 3-month trip to 🇦🇺 in 2009. Our twins celebrated their 4th birthday in Coral Bay, just a few days after we did an impressive guided tour in the Tom Price Mine ("A drinking town with a mining problem“ 😂) and drove up Mt Nameless. Greetz from Europe

[@JafffaAdventures]

A drinking town with a mining problem, love it mate😂. Thanks for sharing your story, that’s super cool👍😎

[@GavinGillett]

Paraburdoo is where I grew up, Tom Price I worked for a few years :D You are in magic country mate, great video :D - It's hard to show how steep Mt Nameless is but anyone that has done the high country will feel at home.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks Gavin, it’s magic country that’s for sure. I’ve got Mt Meharry in a future episode, that takes it to a whole new level again. Your a lucky man to have the red dirt in your veins. Go well my friend👍😎

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

That pool looked magic mate! (Sorry had to be done) I can’t wait to get to WA. Cheers Steve

[@JafffaAdventures]

It’s unbelievable over there, so very diverse. The Pilbara is super special👍😎

[@zoezoe610]

How good is it out there. We live in Perth and in winter each year we head out to these remote red dirt areas as they have some amazing camping without the tourists. Cheela Plains does have some great spots to camp out there. Thanks to you both.

[@JafffaAdventures]

You guys in the west are so lucky to be able to explore those remote red regions in your “back yard”. Very jealous 👍😎

[@zoezoe610]

@@JafffaAdventures I suppose every state is so different but remote areas have a feel and vibe about them that you don't feel near the coast.

@zoezoe610 agree 100%👍😎

Hi Jill and Terry what brand of scan gauge have you hooked up to, keep the video's up.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Hi Colin, it’s a Scangauge brand mate, I rate it. Weekly vids (Friday 3pm AEST) coming your way mate. Cheers👍😎

Awesome episode.... did you end up going up Mt Meharry this trip?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Sure did mate, epic epic epic track up that sucker. November 3rd that episode will be released. Cheers👍😎

[@robdotcom71]

@@JafffaAdventures Awesome!! Going up to those lookouts on Mt Nameless is one thing but going up Mt Meharry takes it up to another level. Can't wait to see you guys tackle the track up... :)

[@JafffaAdventures]

Thanks mate, loved it👍😎

[@DiHandley]

As I understand the situation, Australia has the oldest undisturbed land and rock formations in the world. So much older than the Grand Canyon, the Himalayas and the African plains. I’m sure somebody will correct me if I’m wrong! Only fools don’t use their tools!

[@JafffaAdventures]

I love that saying mate, it’s perfect. I think you are one the money re the age of our landscape, it’s truly epic👍😎

[@barrymurphy3554]

Hi Terry & Jill Can you give me some help I have a 200 series we love your videos can you tell me what tires you run now please I run Coopers I appreciate all your research thanks very much love your adventures. Cheers

[@JafffaAdventures]

I had several sets of Cooper STT’s on my 80 Series over 20 years of ownership, and the last few years of that they had some real quality issues. When I bought my 200 I switched to BFG KM3’s. I had 2 sets and the second set was destroyed on our WA trip along the telegraph track. I was pretty disappointed in the quality of that second set. While in Perth, I replaced them with Toyo Open Country muddies and love them. They have been abused to death on the WA trip, took a flogging on our recent Tasmania trip, and we will probably get one more big trip out of them. Now bear in mind the type of travel we do, it’s pretty extreme. I usually get around 30,000km out of a set of muddies and these ones will be no different BUT, they are not damaged like my Coops or BFG’s got after this type of abuse. Side walls are perfect, and treads are wearing evenly. When the Toyos do die, I’ll replace them with the same. I did go one size up over my old tyres as well, now 295/70/17’s. Enjoy your journey mate👍😎

All good Barry, go well mate👍😎

[@fishernick2447]

Why wouldn’t you use the locks, less strain on the vehicle which still has a massive tour in front of it ….👍

I do
