Kalbarri - a natural beauty

Considering we didn't see Kalbarri in its best light, it certainly is spectacular. There are 2 quite different scenic areas - the coastal cliffs and the inland gorges - all within 20km of the town.

It was extremely windy for the days we were there but we managed to see the sights while dodging showers. The coastal cliffs are awesome, especially Natural Bridge and Island Rock. National Parks have done an excellent job of building boardwalks and paved walkways so all can access the areas.

In contrast, Kalbarri National Park is also spectacular. They have constructed 2 skywalks that protrude over the gorge and Murchison River. Nature's Window is another frequently photographed site in Kalbarri. Z- bend lookout is another of the lookouts we went to, but persistent rain showers put an end to our exploring.

We have come to the area and the season for wildflowers. At some sections along the highway the plants looked like a beautiful native garden. I wish we had taken photos of it but it isn't always practical to stop, especially when towing a van. I have included some wildflowers in the photos.Læs mere
