Days 64- 66, Sat 14 Aug until Monday AM 16 August
A good weekend spent in the beautiful environment of Kalbarri National Park , camped in the lee of Red Bluff. The Kalbarri region is the traditional land of the Nanda people, we acknowledge their custodianship and offer our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
The Kalbarri National park covers a large area of the lower reaches of the Murchison River. The river , which rises somewhere near Meekatharra ( a long way away) , has cut some amazing gorges in the region. The remainder of the National Park covers some great coastal features on a beautiful coastline.
We spent a great day on Sunday walking in and exploring parts of the park. The wildflowers were in full bloom – in incredible variety and scent . And the gorges are stunning.
The National Park has also built two cantilevered ‘sky walks’ about 150 metres above the gorge system. Great engineering!
As is becoming usual, Kalbarri also put on great ‘WA’ sunsets.
On Monday afternoon we drove via Northampton and Geraldton to Jurien Bay , staying by the (nice) beach. Tomorrow we head to Perth for 3 nights / four days . We will be staying with good friends and also catching up with necessary admin / repairs to the VW and Bernie. No posts then , next posts from Margaret River on the next weekend.
