From Steep Point we had an overnight by the side of the road then drove into Kalbarri the next morning. Kalbarri is a small town at the mouth of the Murchison River. This is a view towards the town from Red Bluff.
We checked out a place called the Rainbow Jungle which is a parrot zoo. The boys really enjoyed seeing the enormous variety of parrots and especially liked the macaws. My favorite was an old cockatoo that kept calling out "Muuuuuuuuum, Muuuuuuummmm". I was just waiting for it to add "I'm hungry"!
We spent one morning out at Kalbarri National Park. Unfortunately the kids are a bit over national parks as you can tell from this photo.
It was very beautiful and there are 2 short walks you can do to look outs. The first one is called Nature's Window.
The other one is Z Bend. I did this one on my own as it was easier than putting up with the whinging.
Charlie got very excited on the drive and kept calling out "Look, banana trees!" He wasn't pleased when he realized they were flowers!
Even though we are past the official wild flower season there were plenty of flowers around so it was quite a pretty drive.
The boys had a few attempts at fishing. The first night we arrived was the most successful. Michael and Kumar went out after dark to the jetty and came back with 4 fish. That was the high point as repeated attempts from the jetty, the river and the beach were unsuccessful. A couple of undersized ones but no dinner. Jack nearly caught an enormous crab one afternoon. Better luck further south hopefully!
