Today we decided to stay another night at Wagoe Camping so that we could go exploring at the Kalbarri national park. At this campground they do 4 wheeler tours too down onto the sand dunes etc which would be pretty cool and wasn't too expensive. I didn't find the reception lady very warm or welcoming so I decided she could stick her 4 wheeler tour up her bottom!
Drove in towards Kalbarri and just before you hit the town there is a road similar to the great ocean road which follows the water and there are little spots all along to stop and view some natural landscape. I apologise for the photos in advance as I only had my phone to take pictures with today.
Onto Kalbarri town and it was a beautiful little seaside town! Lots of people around for school holidays but still great. The ocean meets the river system here and it creates a pretty nice calm bay called chinamans beach. Great fishing here apparently so had a quick fish in the river system. No luck but sneaking suspicion there are crabs everywhere cuz something was taking the bait and weighing down the line!
Next to the national park which is $11 to enter (but not for us who purchased a month pass), now the road is rough here! Pretty corrugated! It says two wheel drive access but we saw a couple of little yaris's and they did not look they were having a good time. Of course Joel just overtook them and made them eat his dust! Haha.
There are two main things here, natures window and the z bend. Both were spectacular views but we were a little disappointed as there was little to no water left in the gorges. Would be even better with water in it! Natures window was our favourite, so cool how nature creates these little things for us to name. I reckon one day it won't be there though so don't leave it too late to see it! All around it the rock walls are collapsing so sometimes you are standing on the edge looking out and you look underneath you and it's all collapsed and just one shelf of rock is holding it up, bit scary!
We had totally worn ourselves out so back to camp for some r & r. We had good intentions of fishing the beach at the campground but were just too buggered. There is no public access to this beach unless you stay at the grounds, so surely there has to be good fishing! Have to find out next time.
