Situated on the Murchison River is the holiday town of Kalbarri, once again it has many newly developed buildings, mostly along the coastline, and further back the homes of the fisherfolk, its original citizens.
From a vantage point we observed boats coming into the mouth of river toward the reef and the tortuous route they had to take to negotiate through the channels, to avoid grounding on that reef.
We started with a drive over unsealed roads of red, red dirt loving the wildflowers on route to the wonderful gorges of the National Park.
It was extremely hot and there was an enormous amount of flies, many, many times as they gathered in numbers around eyes, nose, mouth and ears I used the Aussie Wave, resolving to get the mossie/fly nets from the cupboard in van and keep in the car, so they can be used!
We took multi photos of all the beauties as we walked through the coastal heath to the lookouts to gaze and peep through 'Natures Window' framing the rugged course of the Murchison and marvel at the unforgetable  breathtaking gorges. 
This Coast is pounded by the unceasing waves coming from the Indian Ocean providing spectacular sandstone cliffs of great beauty and changing moods according to the angle of the sun, amount of cloud etc. and the camera worked overtime again.
One day we visited Rainbow Jungle a centre that breeds Australian Parrots; some live in large cages and some fly free past you as you scramble for the camera.   Of course their colours are from the full spectrum of the palette and 'once again the camera worked overtime'!
We had great joy observing a little family of tawny frogmouth owls spending their day (sleeping) on a fence right in front of our van, there was a Mum and 2 littlies, and Dad was on a trunk of a nearby tree.
As I manoeuvred around to take an even better photo Mum raised and turned her head, opened orange and black eyes - wide - to check what I was doing near to her precious brood.
There was a tower to climb and we were rewarded with the sight of whales out in the ocean.
As it is school hollidays in WA we could only book for 3 nights and were soon to move on from this pretty haven.
