A unique opportunity to enjoy the iconic Karijini National Park at night was a resounding success and perhaps the first of an iconic annual event to promote tourism in the Pilbara region.
Over 70 people dressed up and headed out to the Karijni Eco Retreat for a special dinner experience hosted by the Tom Price and Paraburdoo Business Association on Saturday 22 June.
The event, focused on celebrating and promoting tourism in the Pilbara region, was emceed by Tadam Lockyer from Gumala Radio. Welcome to Country was offered by Tim Parker in traditional language and translated by May Bryne.
Guests were entertained by local musician Beau-Daniel Loumeau while the team at Karijini Eco-retreat served Pilbara inspired cocktails, followed by a scrumptious three course à la carte fine dining experience with wild barramundi, kangaroo, crocodile, scotch fillet and marinated vegetables on the menu.
Guests chose to either stay the night in one of the deluxe eco-tents at the retreat or be transported to and from Tom Price with a courtesy bus provided by Lestok.
"This event was just the first step in starting the discussion on how the Pilbara can develop and attract tourism to the region,” said Sarah Kemp, Chair of Tom Price and Paraburdoo Business Association.
