Kalbarri National Park Coastal Cliffs

South of Kalbarri township lies a long stretch of coastal cliffs. Here the Indian Ocean butts up against the ancient Australian landmass, creating steep chasms, rocky inlets, and bizarre formations as it relentlessly carves away at the multi-colored layers of sandstone and limestone. There are a string of lookouts that dot this impressive coast.

A few of the lookouts and walking trails were closed and under refurbishment. From what we did view, they were pretty amazing. For the enthusiastic hikers, there are several hiking trails accessible at multiple access points. The trails can be walked in either direction. On the day we visited the Coastal Cliffs, we saw the Grandstand, Shell House, Natural Bridge, Eagle Gorge, Island Rock, Mushroom Rock, and Red Bluff.Read more
