Gumala Aboriginal Corporation The multi award winning Karijini Eco Retreat is 100% owned by the Gumala Aboriginal Corporation. The area is highly important to its traditional owners, the Banyjima, Innawonga and Nyiyaparli Aboriginal people - evidence of their occupation dates back more than 30,000 years. Traditionally, the Aboriginal people conducted fire stick farming practices which have shaped the unique nature of the flora and fauna found in the park today. A short walk trail leads directly from the Retreat into Joffre Gorge – stand at the top and you’ll find yourself overwhelmed by this powerful creation of nature. Over a period of some 2,500 million years, this country has been sculptured and shaped to the dramatic landscapes which now form the heart of the Karijini National Park – a labyrinth of waterfalls and gorges, some of which are so narrow you can reach out and touch the cool rocks on either side.
