If you're wondering what my favourite national park in Australia is, it's Karijini. The stunning narrow canyons and the vibrant colours of the rock contrasting with white ghost gums held me spellbound for a couple of days. To give you some idea of scale, note the tiny figures in the bottom left hand of the picture. This shot was taken in Hancock Gorge, accessed by ladder.
