Kalbarri

Kalbarri is a coastal town in the Mid West region 661kms North of Perth. It is just a 1 hour flight when you fly with Skippers Aviation from Perth.

This delightful town is geared towards tourism and fishing and is well known for its renowned Red Rock gorges, rugged coastal cliffs, pure white sandy beaches and 800 species of wildflowers that burst into bloom from July to October in a wide range of colours. Kalbarri National Park has a number of natural phenomenon including "The Z Bend" and walking tracks.

Kalbarri is situated where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean and is warm and sunny most of the year. To add post-card perfect scene, whales and their calves migrate along the coast and dolphins frolic in the bay.

Calm waters of the Murchison allow for a refreshing dip. Many spots across the Kalbarri coast afford breathtaking views, precipitous sea cliffs in layers of multi-coloured sandstone loom over the crashing white foam.

Even up to the early 1940's only a few cray fisherman lived in the area that was not even known as Kalbarri. Kalbarri did not become and actual town until 1951 after the nearby Geraldine Lead Mine helped the town grow. Today the small picturesque town sits on the Estuary of the Murchison River.

You can swim, water ski, kayak or hire paddle boats, dinghies and windsurfers on the river foreshore. Join a fishing charter for the catch of a lifetime, or throw a line from the beach.
