Karijini Visitor Centre
A building with a rust-coloured, weather-resistant steel exterior shaped like a giant lizard. It showcases Aboriginal culture and gorge geology and provides road updates.
The Karijini Visitor Centre was designed with input from local Aboriginal people. Its rust-coloured weathering-steel walls mimic a lizard lying on the ground, blending into the red earth. Inside, exhibits cover the traditional knowledge, seasonal calendars and geological formation of Karijini, as well as the Banyjima, Kurrama and Innawonga peoples. You can also get gorge safety guidance, the latest road conditions and closure notices here, and buy national park passes and souvenirs. Located on Banjima Drive about 10 km west of Dales Gorge, it is recommended as the first stop when entering the park. It is open in the dry season, and opening hours are shortened in the wet season.
Opening hours
Dry season about 9 am–4 pm (seasonal adjustments)
