Kalbarri Travel Guide

 iandsmith Says:  For me, the best part of Kalbarri is the coastal walks and the pick of them is Mushroom Rocks Walk.If you're not into geology then some of the walk may be lost on you but it's only an hour and a half (you could do it in a lot less than that) and you'll see some of the most... 

 iandsmith Says:  Here is a formation you can see at a few places around the Australian coastline.Also, if you look closely, you can see where the top layer of Tamala limestone that was put down a mere 2 million years ago, has collapsed and fallen into the ocean. 

 iandsmith Says:  For over a decade local volunteers have been feeding the pelicans at the Pelican Corral in Kalbarri. Spectators are given a brief history of these wonderful birds, though I have to say that, since I was more or less brought up with them, they didn't get me as excited as some... 

 iandsmith Says:  I was already in awe of this walk when we came upon these weird formations hanging everywhere off the end of the rock.They are actually caused by a worm like creature called a skolithos and it may have taken minutes to hours to form these burrows. Due to some matter excreted... 

 iandsmith Says:  Formed over thousand of years due to the erosion or Tumblagooda sandstone, the reason I had picked this walk out was the layers of colour. I hope you agree as you check the pictures out that they alone make the walk worthwhile. Frankly, I'd never seen anything like it. 

 iandsmith Says:  The whole gorge only happened because the Murchison River flows right through these ancient layers.The access via the loop walk (see pic 5) is easy but it is uphill and downhill and takes and estimated 3-4 hours for the eight kilometres.It's extraordinary to realise that the... 

 iandsmith Says:  When you reach the Loop there is one photo that everyone must have and that is the one of Nature's Window, a weather worn hole in a rock right next to the carpark where you take the plunge down into the gorge.It's a large hole in the Tumblagooda sandstone walls that were... 

 iandsmith Says:  Kalbarri National Park is one of the better National Parks in Australia. The combination of nearly 200 000 hectares which, between August and October, becomes a vast carpet of wildflowers, the elaborate and interesting twists and turns of the Murchison River as it cuts its...

 iandsmith Says:  We were on the main highway about 60 kms from Kalbarri when we got to this crossing where we camped just after sunset. Next morning I awoke and took a couple of snaps.It's the Murchison River a fair way before it gets to Kalbarri NP.There's a designated camp site here so you... 

 iandsmith Says:  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... 

 robertgaz Says:  The sun down under can be fiercely hot and unrellenting causing one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. The Slip Slop Slap campaign started way back in the 80's encouraging Aussies to protect their skin by Slipping on a shirt, Slopping on some sunscreen and...
