Myth or legit: light rain is fine, so keep exploring Karijini's gorges.

Answer: Myth

Myth. Flash floods can occur. Don't enter gorges if there's rain around; if it starts raining, leave immediately.

Gorge pools can be extremely cold from April to September, so don't dive or jump in. Summer often tops 40°C: drink plenty of water. Stay back from cliff edges.
