Kalbarri ~ 1st to 4th September

We left our interesting shell grit caravan park in Shark Bay and drove along the North West Coastal Highway which threaded its way through carpets of yellow, white and pink wildflowers and bushes of flowers that were mauve, red, yellow, gold, orange, white and blue. We found ourselves in a beautiful little town and took our bikes and rode up to one of the lookouts along the coast where you can see the Murchison River entering the sea.

I have done a couple of long walks here, one along the coastal cliffs where, once again, I watched Humpback whales performing in the ocean.

The other was along the river gorges which we reached via another 4WD track further inland. This was a "challenging" walk because of all the climbing although it was well worth the effort.

The scent of the wildflowers accompanied me on both walks and the scenery was stunning.

We are off to spend a couple of days with friends in Bindoon now before I fly to Melbourne to spend time with family while David continues his WA travel probably at a quieter pace.

Blessings to you all. The next blog will be from Melbourne.
