Kalbarri

Kalbarri is about 130km north of Geraldton. It is not really a sailing spot. You may be able to sail in the mouth of the river if the wind was westerly, however this is not a likely wind direction.

Kalbarri is however a beautiful spot, with gorges and the Murchison river meandering through the town. It is well worth the drive from Geraldton, especially if the wind is light for a couple of days. it only takes about 1.5 hours to drive there.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast on the main street in Kalbarri. It was superb, having access to the swimming pool directly out the front. This album shows pictures of the B&B.

Kalbarri in at the mouth of the Murchison river, on the coast of WA. The Murchison meanders through a a series of gorges, on it's way to the sea. There is horse riding, abseiling, canoing, walking and much sightseeing to be done in the area.

We did a tour with Kalbarri Adventure Tours, that took us walking through some of the gorges and canoing down the river. It was an all day tour for $60, and exceptional value. This album shows some pictures taken of the scenery during the tour.
