Kalbarri National Park

Kalbarri National Park covering an area of about 186,000 hectares of rugged terrain and majestic beauty attracts thousands of visitors each year. We only saw some features in the inland section on the Murchison River as dogs are not allowed and we had Maxi looked after in Kalbarri for three hours while we did a quick visit.

The Skywalk is a new feature in the NP.  Two spectacular cantilevered lookout structures that are viewing platforms hanging in mid-air have been constructed high above the curving Murchison River.  The platforms provide uninterrupted views out over the gorge.  Standing on the mesh walkways means that there is nothing but air between you and the river over 100 metres below.

There are also bronze sculptures of animals.  An emu and its chicks.

and a quoll.

Nature's window is one of WA's most iconic natural attractions.  Perfectly framing the Murchison River, it is one of the most photographed sites on Australia's Coral Coast.

This is the trail that leads to the window in the rock.

This is the panoramic view of the river below.  An 8 km walk around is what we did when we were last here about 8 years ago.
