Karijini National Park, in Western Australia's Pilberra region is one of the most magical places on the planet. It's cut through with iron ore canyons that shelter all sorts of plants and animal life (like frogs) that couldn't survive in the heat of the canyon rims and surrounding desert. Aboriginal Australians consider this land sacred and the home of ancestral water snake spirits, who live in the deep pools.
