An afterglow of rich late-afternoon light plays beautifully upon the mineralised rock strata of Hamersley Gorge. The haunting majesty of the scene is strengthened by the dramatic folds of the land, and by the stillness of the spring-fed waters as they reflect the silent trees. Located in Western Australia's Pilbara region (famous for its vast mineral deposits and mining), Hamersley Gorge provides a rare escape from the surrounding harshness, and from the fierce heat, which can top fifty degrees Celsius. It is a hidden oasis amid a land of inhospitable rock and Spinifex, more than welcome as a refuge for travellers who pass this way.
