Day 16 Northampton to Kalbarri

 Leisurely drive to Kalbarri this morning ( 102k) as we can't get into the park till 2pm. Lots of caravans still heading south as the school holidays come to an end. On the way into Kalbarri , we stopped in at the Pink Lake near Port Gregory named for the colour due tot he high levels of salt  then onto the coastal cliffs outside of Kalbarri- very reminiscent of the Great Australian Bight. There are quite a few spots but it was Island Rock and Natural Bridge for us. Again the flies are unbelievable but the views make up for it. Stopped in town for lunch and then onto the Red Bluff Tourist Resort another G'day park so my membership fee has definitely paid for itself. Having an ensuite for every site is a bit of a novelty and its great to be back on a bit of grass again.

Onto Kalbarri National park this afternoon for some sightseeing. The main attraction is the Kalbarri Skywalk - photos really don't do it justice. Check out Russ's movies on the blog. There are a number of other trails you can take but being 35 degrees and enough flies to carry a horse away , The Skywalk and Nature's Window  was enough. 

Finished the day with a bit of fishing, a cold drink and another look at the stars.
