I said "yes" to the proposed itinerary made by mr.husband when we were planning our couple trip to Perth, Australia. He told me about visiting Kalbarri National Park which requires a 7 hours drive from Perth.
I put aside the long trip that I will have to experience, eventhough I knew I am not "a roadtrip person". Australian's National Park has always been a must visit place when we travel as couple.
I am sure you will also agree.
Looking through the Nature's Window at Kalbarri National Park |
To avoid the heat, we left our motel at Kalbarri in the morning and head to the gate of Kalbarri National Park. There was no one at the gate, we paid with a machine, AUD12 per vehicle. Then we put the payment slip on the dashboard of our rented car.
The entrance gate |
This is where visitor should purchase the entrance ticket (by themselves) |
We continued driving, the road was ok until we saw a sign that we will be entering a gravel road.
From this point, we had to reduce the speed |
So here it goes: the gravel road! |
Too bad we didn't see any Kangaroo at Kalbarri National Park |
It took about 20 minutes ride from the entrance gate to the parking area. And we were welcomed by flies when we opened our car. I regret that we didn't buy flynest to cover our face. Each cost AUD6 and could be bought at the supermarket at Kalbarri.
Flies attack |
There's no turning back. We started our walk from the parking area to the Nature's Window. The round trip walk is 1 km, with a spectacular view along the way.
Let's begin our trekking :) |
The signs along the track, to keep everyone safe |
Finally we reached The Nature's Window. The flies were still so annoying, but we were too excited, I guess. So we kept on taking pictures. We take turn with other visitors to sit inside the window.
Hello there Nature's Window |
It was our turn to take the picture |
The flies were also excited to take pictures with us:D
The Nature's Window was not the only beautiful thing we saw at this national park, the view around it were amazing. We took a short trekking to the opposite of the Nature's Window. All we saw was the beautiful rocks and also a river in between.
Approaching midday, we left the parking area and went back to our motel. But mr.husband made a quick stop at a lookout called Meanarra Hill, where we could see beautiful view of Kalbarri.
After visiting The Kalbarri National Park, we are planning to see more of the Australian National Parks. That includes Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, number 1 on our National Parks bucketlist :)
If you are planning a trip to Perth, consider to visit Kalbarri as well. This place is amazingly beautiful.
