Tragedy in Karijini a sad warning

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Chris Majewski who fell and died at Fortescue Falls this week. He was trying to save his young son who had slipped down an embankment and who remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition. Chris was a well loved primary school principal from a small community and so many people are feeling his loss.

Karijini National Park was the highlight of our trip around Australia - an amazingly magical place. We had left our five year old son with family in Dampier and I remember being grateful we had gone without him as exploring the gorges requires some scary climbs.

This shockingly sad tragedy is a warning to all of those lucky enough to be out exploring our rugged and unforgiving land. Please be bloody careful.
