Joffre Gorge

Joffre Gorge is a prominent gorge in Karijini National Park in the Hamersley Range of the Pilbara region, Western Australia, within the Shire of Ashburton. Carved into 2.5-billion-year-old banded iron formation, it features steep red cliffs, a seasonal waterfall (Joffre Falls), rock pools and an amphitheatre-like gorge floor. It is notable for its dramatic geology, scenic lookout and Class 4 hiking trails that showcase the park's ancient landscape.

Visitors can expect a deep, amphitheatre-shaped gorge with layered red banded iron cliffs, a lookout over Joffre Falls and the gorge, and steep trails descending to the gorge floor. The setting is arid Pilbara bushland with spinifex and eucalypts. Visitors can explore the Joffre Gorge Lookout (short walk from car park) and the longer gorge floor walk to rock pools and the base of the seasonal waterfall. Swimming is possible in pools when water levels permit.
