Skywalking: Kalbarri National Park

You may have seen images of this previously:

There are actually two of these cantilevered structures hanging over the edge of the cliff high above the Murchison River in the Kalbarri National Park.

While I appreciate the excellent architectural design of the skywalk, its kiosk and the intrepretation panels and bronze statues of some of the wildlife, it is a bit gimmicky, but it certainly attracts the crowds to the national park.

This is the nearby Nature's Window.

I had to wait quite a while to get that shot with no people in it.

The views from the skywalk and Nature's Window were pretty good.

I also did short walks to view three other locations along the Gorge that where not quite as busy. Earlier in the day, I stopped to photograph some flowering shrubs and up popped some locals to say 'g'day' or maybe it was more like 'What are you doing here, disturbing our breakfast?'

There were a lot of wildflowers!

Kalbarri National Park has two sections, the inland gorge and the ocean cliffs. In between these areas is the small town of Kalbarri which still bears a lot of obvious damage from the cyclone that struck in April 2021.

The cliffs were dramatic and windy.

My campsite for the night was situated further up the Murchison River.
