Kalbarri

Jaime and the boys in Kalbarri National Park

We continued our journey south, camping the night on the banks of the Murchison River, where we bumped into some of our friends from Ningaloo, and enjoyed a night around the campfire with them. The next morning we headed into Kalbarri National Park and went and saw “Nature’s Window” and the gorge formed by the Murchison River. It was a very picturesque river and gorge but we have had enough of gorges and decided not to spend too much time there. We visited the town of Kalbarri which is a lovely sleepy village on the coast where the Murchison River meets the sea. The coast line is quite spectacular here. We travelled on that afternoon, past some pink lakes and found a place to stay near the town of Northampton. The countryside has now changed dramatically, and you could easily believe you are driving through the central west at the moment. The weather actually feels about the same too, although warm during the day there is an annoying wind all the time which is cold!
