Hammersley Hiking

Truth is the walk into Hammersley Gorge is only 400 metres - not much of a hike.


It is the easiest gorge to access and is only about 80 kms from Tom Price.

What makes this gorge distinctive are the folds in the rock which are amazing.


The squeeze was put on here millions of years ago, and the evidence is there for all to see.


At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the water was cool - bordering on cold - and we managed to have a dip in the spa pool, the upper pool, and in the lower pool.

Hammersley Gorge is also one of the more family friendly gorges in the area.

There are places where the water is easy to enter, the and the 'beach' or 'sandbar' means that smaller children can play there in relative safety.

While lacking in the power and variety of some of the other gorges just looking at the rock folds here forces you to think about the power in the forces of nature.

It was a lovely place to spend a Sunday afternoon and we were reminded again of the power of the Creator.
