Kalbarri

Kalbarri is a quaint seaside town with many holiday units, holiday homes and three Caravan Parks, considering it’s a small town. You have Kalbarri National Park which we visited and had spectacular views from all lookouts. One walk we completed was called Natures Window, have you guessed yet? It’s a window within the rock formations, through the window you see the Murchison River and lovely red rock with shrubs. Another walk took us down to the river itself, while at the park it was quite warm, but as we returned to Kalbarri, windy once again.

Every morning on the Esplanade the resident pelicans are fed. We were able to walk over from our Caravan Park which was situated along the foreshore. At the beginning there was one lone pelican for breakfast, another one ventured over who was a female but the mean lone male pelican quickly shooed her away. He did not want any others sharing his brekky. During the feeding and the informative talk about the birds, four flew over the water, it was a lovely site because they are such large birds.

Ever since we left Coral Bay for Denham all we have had is wind, it hasn’t been too cold, but always windy. From Kalbarri we travelled south to Geraldton, rain, wind, rain, wind. That is all we have known as we moved down the west coast. From Geraldton to Cervantes, this is the base for the Pinnacles. Today we arrived at Rockingham south of Perth to 12 degrees and more of the same, rain and wind. The weather is looking up though Sunday 27 degrees and wait for it, Monday 34 degrees. We will be able to turn the heater off and put the air con on for a change. Very much looking forward to the warmer weather, crossing fingers for more heat and no wind or rain.
