Kalbarri Attractions — What You Absolutely Cannot Miss
Kalbarri National Park covers over 186,000 hectares of ancient gorge country carved by the Murchison River. The Kalbarri Skywalk extends 100 metres out over the gorge rim — the views will stop you in your tracks. Nature’s Window frames the river below in a shot that belongs on every photographer’s bucket list. Kalbarri National Park is managed by Parks and Wildlife Service WA
On the coast, Island Rock, Natural Bridge, and Red Bluff deliver some of the most dramatic cliff scenery in Australia. In wildflower season — roughly July to October — the surrounding landscape erupts in colour that has to be seen to be believed.
