On the road today heading towards Kalbarri. Kalbarri is both a seaside town, and the name of the national park that mostly surrounds the town. The national park is split into two sections, the inland river gorges, and the coastal section.
We stopped on the way to camp to complete a short walk in the park. The flies were full on though, so we didn’t really hang around and enjoy the scenery too much. We made it to camp at Murchison Station by lunch. It is a great camping area, and very popular. They don’t allow too many people in, so it didn’t feel crowded at all and we got a great riverside campsite. Lucky I had booked, as they were already turning away walk-in’s for the night. After lunch we drove into Kalbarri town with the intent of snorkelling at Blue Holes. Unfortunately, the tide was fairly low, and the water not deep enough for snorkelling. After having a bit more of a look around, we headed back to camp for our usual evening routine.
