Blue skies and clean beaches great scenery
by Roadrunnermike
Although Kalbarri is over 600 ks from Perth it is well worth the trip. Pleasant beaches at the mouth of the Murchison River for bathing, boat hire to cruise the river and shops for the necessary supplies and gifts. There are a number of places of interest, which are within easy reach of Kalbarri either by vehicle or cycle, which can be hired. The view from Chinaman Lookout over the bay.
Eagle Gorge
by iandsmith
There are several points south of the town of Kalbarri where you can turn in and see scenery that's a bit special. Eagle Gorge is one of them but few people actually walk all the way down to the beach.
The majority hop out, have a geek from the lookout and move on.
We chose to soak up a bit more of the atmosphere and take in the pounding surf and rugged cliffs up close and personal.
This is about 5 kms south of town.
Natures Window and The Loop
by Atre
About 30km from kalbarri township, you pay a small fee to enter the national park and drive 20 odd km to reach the two accessable gorges, The Loop and the Z bend. Natures window is quite impressive, there is a 1km walk there and back. The Window itself is a rock that has been eroded to look like a window, through which you can see a pretty picture of the river. The Loop is a walk track that follows a loop of the river, approximately 4 hours long, however if you have come to the national park for the day you may not have time to complete it.
Shell House Gorge

Grandstand Rock Gorge is at the same vantage point as Shell House Gorge. Over time the soft limestone rock face has taken a battering from the ocean and caused the formations that you see today.
Location: Off National Bridge Road, Kalbarri
Bigurda Trail
by keeweechic
The Bigurda Trail is an 8km walking trail which allows you to discover Kalbarri’s coastal cliffs. The trail from Natural Bridge to Eagle Gorge is likely to take you 3 hours but along the way you will get some great views of the rugged cliffs and maybe even see some dolphins or whales migrating along the coastline. The name Bigurda comes from the Bigurda Kangaroo which can be found in the area.
