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.
