Kalbarri

I left Shark Bay Apartments at 08.50 and drove back to the North West Coastal Highway. The gusty wind had ceased leaving heavy showers in the morning but a sunny afternoon.
I stopped at the Overlander Roadhouse to top-up the fuel-tank and to also have a coffee.
On the journey, I listened to Frank Sinatra, and Noel Coward at Las Vegas which I'd bought from iTunes.
I crossed the Tropic of Capricorn again and saw more feral goats. The landscape changed eventually from dry scrubland to trees, sheep ranches, and green and yellow fields of indeterminate plants.
After the turn-off to Kalbarri, the countryside was like England but this soon changed as I headed towards Kalbarri NP, the land becoming a dry plateau with no fields.
I entered the National Park to go to the gorges, the Ross Graham Trail down to the River Murchison, and Hawk's Head.
Back on the Kalbarri Road, I turned off to go to the Skywalk which was a platform extended out over a gorge; towards Nature's Walk; the Z Bend in the river, and to Meanarra Hill as dusk approached. There were an increasing number of pretty flowering plants, especially yellow, creating an avenue along the road.
Arriving at 18.00. I stayed in a nice room on the 1st floor of Kalbarri Seafront Villas with the key being in a coded box rather than at reception.
For dinner, I walked down the road to a busy restaurant with a Vietnamese influence.
