The park is located just north of the Tropic of Capricorn, approximately 1,055 kms from the state’s capital city, Perth. Formerly known as Hamersley Range National Park, the park was officially renamed in 1991. At 1,550,390 acres, Karijini is the second largest national park in Western Australia with Karlamilyi National Park being the largest park.  The park is physically split into a northern and a southern half by a corridor containing the Hamersley and Robe River railway and the Marandoo iron ore mine.
