Kalbarri last day

We got out before the wind and heat (almost) and biked south along the trail following the shoreline. Mainly sealed so quite easy. The coast at Kalbarri is very rugged with weather beaten cliffs and heavy seas. A few surfers braved the waves but there seemed more spectators than actual surfers. The mouth of the Murchison River was being suction dredged as there are some fishing boats which brave the mouth. It's not a wide exit out to sea.

Julie walked into town to look in the few shops - mainly surf-wear and swimming costumes while Regan baked scones. In the afternoon the wind returned so we took the ute further south than the bike trail to check out more coastline. The bushflies were out there waiting but the high winds slowed the majority from buzzing our heads. Most were happy to just take a ride on our backs and arms and weather the gusts until an opportunity arose to annoy.

The cliff views were quite incredible and the trail around the cliff was a little surprising with no safety barriers at all. Pot Alley was our favourite with dramatic red cliffs and a hidden sandy beach. We were sand-blasted climbing back up to the car and the sea was very rough but it would be fabulous on a summers day.

Yesterday I tried to get some wildflower photos, I have attached a few but they don't really do it justice. We can both see how appealing Kalbarri is as a holiday destination as it has such a great mix of adventure and relaxation. With the WA school holidays starting tomorrow this town will fill up. We are moving south to find more wildflowers and new places to explore.Leggi altro
