Kalbarri is at the mouth of the Murchison River, which travels over 700km inland eastof the Indian Ocean.We visited Kalbarri National Park, which contains gorges travelling along parts of the Murchison River. The gorges have been forming for over 400 million years by wind and water erosion. We stopped at 'Nature's Window' for the 'must do' photo...
And viewed the gorges from numerous lookouts...
We have actually travelled in the dry season, so the Murchison River wasn't flowing. I imagine spring would be the best time to visit to watch the powerful river flowing around the 'Z bends'.
We hired a boat for half a day and putted over to Cliff Rock and climbed the hill for awesome views over the Murchison River...
We threw in a few fishing lines at 'Tina Turner' (simply the best according to a local), but only caught fish a little bigger than the bait we used... so no keeper! But it was a lovely day on the water and we enjoyed a picnic lunch:)
Our caravan site was opposite the river so an evening fish, watching the sun go down, was a great way to end a day!
Looks like a very big hill that you climbed but what a great view of the river, keep the photos and comments coming it's wonderful to follow your trip
