Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend 2024 | Karijini
Join us in one of Australia’s greatest and most spectacular landscapes – the truly magnificent Karijini National Park.
By day be spellbound by the contrasting Pilbara blue skies against the classic red rock formations, as you wind your way through gorges to undertake emergency medical scenarios. At night, socialise under a canopy of stars with fellow participants and family members.
This opportunity to experience the remote, beautiful, rugged, and incredibly fascinating Karijini National Park is one not to be missed.

Important information:
Due to a change in funding arrangements the structure of the Family Program at the Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend has changed. All accompanying others will require their own transport in Karijini National Park – this is essential!
