Kalbarri's Wilderness

Kalbarri National Park has two main routes. One is along the coast, with various layered rocks and Indian Ocean scenery, including Red Bluff, Mushroom Rock, Natural Bridge, Island Rock, etc. The other is the inland part, mainly featuring the inland canyon scenery of Nature's Window. In addition, there are Hawkes Head, Z Bend, and Ross Graham. Kalbarri National Park is very large. The coastal and inland routes are separated. We took the coastal route on the way, mainly visiting Red Bluff, and took the inland route on the way back, mainly visiting Nature's Window. The coastal route passed through Kalbarri for sightseeing on the outbound journey, but as we had to reach Monkey Mia in the evening, we only visited Red Bluff along the coast. After seeing all kinds of wonders and strange scenery in Western Australia, this place was not stunning and we didn't stay too long. The inland route was from Shark Bay back to Kalbarri for sightseeing. Western Australia is really suitable for road trips. Driving all the way, there were not as many flies on the road as here. Firstly, arrive at Hawkes Head, where the entire national park is covered by Western Australia's characteristic red soil. Low shrubs can be seen everywhere, and the Moore River runs through it, with canyons formed by red rocks on both sides. These red rocks have been sculpted by nature into various magical landscapes. Leaving Hawkes Head, head straight to the Natural Window. The Creator has bestowed too many treasures on Western Australia, and in every corner of Western Australia, it tirelessly displays its sculptural works. The Natural Window is undoubtedly its masterpiece, and at sunrise, you can capture the stunning image of sunbeams passing through this window. This is a window carefully carved by the Creator, and also a natural picture frame, capturing the winding and twisting cliffs and valleys. Unfortunately, there is little rain in this season, and the Moquison River that once flowed through the canyon has dried up. The red rocks have been sculpted by nature into various magical landscapes, and those layered sandstones are the imprints of time when nature was carving. [Travel Tips] ▪️There are really a lot of flies in Western Australia. We fought with them all the way to the Natural Window. You may consider bringing a fly-proof mask. ▪️The Natural Window faces east-west, and its east side is a cliff, so it's impossible to shoot the sunset. To capture the scene of sunlight penetrating through the Natural Window, only sunrise can be shot. If shooting portraits, it's recommended to come in the afternoon when the light is better and not too sunny. ▪️National park entrances usually have coin boxes and card machines. Some entrances may not have card machines, so it's best to carry some spare change with you. If paying with cash, you need to fill in vehicle information and put the cash in an envelope before dropping it into the coin box. Tickets are charged per vehicle, with a fee of 13 AUD per regular private car.
