Survey Point Lower Weano Gorge WA
Latitude -22.3588600 (22° 21′ 32″ S)
Longitude 118.2885200 (118° 17′ 19″ E)

In Karijini NP the road in here is dirt with a steep section that may require 4wd sometimes. There area has a number of walks into the gorges here. This walk is short and takes you through a spectacular narrow defile to Handrail Pool which has a vertical descent with a handrail to assist you down. The gorge is narrow with not much room for birds, but is still worthwhile even if just for the experience of the defile.
