Kalbarri is on the coast 167 km north of Geraldton and 661 km north of Perth, roughly 66 km off the North West Coastal Highway. Set on the Murchison River estuary, it is a popular small holiday town and the area is noted for its spring wild flowers. There are several hotel/motels plus caravan and camping parks.
The beautiful Kalbarri National Park www.naturebase.net(Kalbarri) is only a kilometre from the town and it includes the spectacular gorges of the Murchison River and some dramatic coastline and swimming beaches. The park is accessed by gravel roads and offers good bush walking, especially in the cooler winter months. There are no camp sites in the national park.
Kalbarri is worth more than a quick overnight stop and would be a good place to relax for a few days on a trip up the coast.
