TRAVEL GUIDE 2026


Welcome to Kalbarri Once upon a place... Past the last bend in the road. Lies a place where the land unfolds like a storybook, And gorges open like ancient smiles. Where the river cuts lines of glistening silver through orange rocks, while the ocean sparkles secrets. Red cliffs blush at sunset. A sea that sings to sleeping shells. And a sky so wide it feels like a dream. Where the desert and the ocean shake hands. Whales whisper to wallabies. And time kicks off its shoes. Epic nature. New nostalgia. The best of WA, all in one magical place.

Kalbarri Holiday Guide | 3


Get closer to nature’s magnificence Distinctly nestled between two incredible, vast landscapes, Kalbarri brings dramatic scenery, and opportunities to bask in nature’s glory, at every turn.

To the South, you’ll find spectacular cliffs towering over the ocean below, and awe-inspiring rock formations, forged over 400-million-years ago. And to the East, the timeless inland river gorges of Kalbarri National Park. Getting closer to nature here, is a given. It took over 400 millennia to create this truly one-ofa-kind destination, where seclusion takes on a whole new meaning. And while you marvel at the surrounds, also keep an eye out for the unique, native wildlife. Including the elusive Thorny Devil. You could be snapping pics, or strapping up for a hike, because up here, the world is yours to explore. Gorgeous gorges, endless winding riverbeds, and vast sandplains bursting with over 1200 species of wildflowers, are all waiting to enthral. So too is the majestic coastline. Boasting some of the best natural beaching experiences possible. World-class surf breaks, crystal clear water for swimming and snorkelling, scenic trails and lookouts beside the towering cliffs, and even frequent visits from local dolphins and whales.

You’ll be walking on air. This new, world class attraction, with platforms suspended 100 metres above the gorges, promises views across Kalbarri National Park that will take your breath away. A magical experience.

NATURE'S WINDOW

This famed frame never fails to deliver a pictureperfect vista. As a renowned, iconic WA landmark, it captures the imagination and is the pinnacle of stunning sunrise pics.

BLUE HOLES

IMAGE TITLE @photographershandle

Immersive encounters with creatures of the not-sodeep. This protected fish habitat is a popular drawcard for fans of swimming and snorkelling, due to the abundance of thriving, colourful marine life.

RED BLUFF LOOKOUT

Head up, when the sun’s going down. For a sunset you won’t forget, visit Kalbarri’s highest elevation along the coast, soaring 100m above sea level. It’s one of the many spots to take in the serene Kalbarri sunset.

MEANARRA HILL LOOKOUT

NATURAL BRIDGE ISLAND ROCK BOARDWALK

KALBARRI RIVER / BEACH FORESHORE

HIKING TRAILS

Taking sightseeing to new heights. Kalbarri’s highest elevation is over 200m above sea level, with electrifying 360-degree views of Kalbarri and the Murchison River.

An idyllic beachside setting. Where you can wander the shallows of clear, tranquil waters, fire-up a BBQ, cool down in Chinaman’s Beach, or let your little ones go wild in the nature playground.

PELICAN FEEDING

Breakfast with these big beaked beauties. Including the viral sensation known by locals as ‘Naughty Boy’. For nearly 50 years, these friendly, feathered locals have been doing a meet and greet with a fishy treat at the foreshore every morning at 8.45am. Come and say hi to them and our dedicated volunteers. (Gold coin donation).

Sunset stroll or midmorning meander, this easily accessible boardwalk (in the Coastal National Park) presents sweeping ocean views. You’ll probably see a few dolphins and whales enjoying it too.

If hiking’s to your liking, you’ll love this. Head inland and be rewarded with spectacular scenery descending to the river on the Class 4, Z-Bend River Trail, Four Ways Trail or Loop Hike. And soak up the colossal coastal views on the Class 3, Bigurda Trail, Mushroom Rock, and Rainbow Valley Nature Trail.

PINK LAKE

You’ll be tickled pink to tick this off your list. Hutt Lagoon (Pink Lake) is an essential stop on everyone’s to-do list in Kalbarri. Depending on the time of day, the lake transforms from bubble-gum pink to a lilac purple. The Port Gregory lookout is an ideal vantage point. Kalbarri Holiday Guide | 5

PINK LAKE


PELICAN FEEDING ON THE FORESHORE Every morning at 8:45am, Kalbarri wakes to one of its sweetest rituals. Down on the foreshore, just across from The Pelican Café, our volunteers gather as the pelicans glide in, right on cue, for a light breakfast treat and a chat. It’s simple, joyful, and wonderfully Kalbarri. You’ll hear stories, learn a little about our feathered locals, and if the stars align, you may even be chosen to offer a fish. The experience is free, with gold coin donations appreciated to help cover the cost of fish and keep this enduring legacy going. Please note: Pelicans are wild creatures with routines of their own. While we hope to see them daily, and our volunteers do their best to be there, nature sometimes has its own plans. How it all began This quirky Kalbarri tradition took flight in 1975, when local fisherman Cliff Ross cleaned his catch on the foreshore and a few curious pelicans wandered over for scraps. Five decades later, the pelicans still return, they know this stretch of the Murchison River foreshore well. You’ll often spot them resting on nearby rock island or gathering around the boats in search of fish. What began as a fisherman’s daily chore is now one of Kalbarri’s most-loved moments—a small, gentle ceremony between people, place, and pelicans.

Did you know?

Z BEND @aeroture_aus

The Murchison River is the second longest river in WA, at 820 kilometres long, with a catchment area of 82,000km2 (larger than Tasmania). The mighty Murchison starts its journey near Meekatharra, travelling across dry plains, hills, salt lakes and gorges, with many rivers forming this colossal catchment area. Cyclonic activity in the north of the state drops heavy rain, creating floodwaters that reach Kalbarri up to three weeks later. In extreme flood events, muddy brown water can be seen emptying into the ocean, creating a stark contrast between blue water and brown. These floodwaters carry an amazing array of nutrients that nourish and restore the river system.

At a Glance

Kaju Yatka 'WALK TO SKY' You’ll feel like you’re floating on air. With views that enthral and inspire. It’s easy to see why this magical, world-class attraction is so popular. Two cantilevered viewing platforms hang in mid-air, 100 metres above the gorge, giving you the perfect vista to absorb the untouched expanse below.

KALBARRI SKYWALK Inspired by the region’s Aboriginal heritage and beauty, local Indigenous artists have created interpretive artwork as an important part of the Skywalk experience. This includes the Beemarra serpent, central to the dreaming story of the Nanda people, sandblasted into the walk path to guide visitors. And message sticks welded with Aboriginal art to make a 'forest' near the entrance of the Skywalk. Over 1000 tonnes of sandstone were excavated during construction and then reused to create the surrounding tiered landscape. Made of 117 tonnes of weathering steel and able to support a weight of 1000kg/square metre, these impressive lookouts provide the ultimate scenic photo opportunities.

Sea, Salt & Sun JAKES BEACH — NATIONAL SURFING RESERVE

P X St

The dolphins love this beach almost as much as the surfers. There’s a reason why it’s one of WA’s most famous surf breaks and a drawcard for surfers from all over the world. The elevation creates a natural grandstand to watch surfers (and dolphins) riding these world class waves, and the iconic lefthander is a National Surfing Reserve. Plus, because it’s a safe surfing option, Jakes Bay is the ideal training ground for the next generation of talent. There are also family-friendly areas protected from the prevailing summer winds. CHINAMAN'S BEACH

P S{ t

Where the river meets the sea — and serene swimming meets fabulous fishing. These calm sheltered waters are ideal for kids, and the rocks perfect for the keen anglers. There’s also a wheelchair accessible platform for fishing, but please note, no fishing is permitted on the beach. BACK BEACH Take a 10-minute stroll from town, and you’ll find yourself exploring rockpools at low tide. Keep strolling and the trails will lead you to Chinaman’s Point and the Zuytdorp memorial lookout. SIPHON BEACH

P

A long stretch of tranquil shoreline graced with a beautiful reef break, that turns any early morning saunter into a magical experience. It also marks the southernmost boundary of the Fish Habitat Protection Area (FHPA). WITTECARRA BEACH For 4WD fans, who don’t mind throwing in a line or two, it doesn’t get much better than this. This stretch of coastline from Wittecarra south to Red Bluff is 4WD access only. RED BLUFF BEACH

S

Wander over the winding rock platforms, hit the surf, or cast off for the catch of the day — this pristine, white sandy beach is perfect for all that, and much more. You can even marvel at the changing colours of the Tumblagooda sandstone. BLUE HOLES

P SDt

Snorkellers, here is where you mask up and glide through an underwater world of wonder. Keep an eye out for: 70 species of finfish (dart, moon wrasse, racoon butterfly fish and humbugs), 10 types of sponge, 11 species of coral, plus, crustaceans, like the western rock lobster, banded hair shrimp, and beds of oysters. It’s also a glorious setting for a simple, serene swim. Part of an inshore limestone reef system, this area was declared a Fish Habitat Protection Area (FHPA) in 2007.

LUCKY BAY @Australia's Coral Coast


Pink Lake (HUTT LAGOON) Hutt Lagoon was given its colourful name by explorer George Grey who camped on its edge in 1839.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Where is the Pink Lake? The Pink Lake is 60km south, a 45-minute drive from Kalbarri next to the township of Port Gregory. All roads are sealed to the Pink Lake. Where is it best to view the Pink Lake? On the Port Gregory side, from Kalbarri travel down George Grey Drive (60km), turn right onto Port Gregory Road (drive just 5km) — there is a dedicated carpark area that is the official Pink Lake Lookout (unsealed). *Please pull over safely on the roadside when viewing the lake. Is the lake pink? Yes. It contains the algae Dunaliella salina which produces high amounts of carotenoids, pigments that give the water its striking pink hues. The lake can shift between shades of pink, red, and even purple depending on the weather conditions. What is the best time of day to view the lake? The lake is best viewed when the sun is high above it to radiate the spectrum of colour. Generally, between 10am and 2pm when there is limited cloud cover, year-round.

Kalbarri's Wildflowers Get closer to over 1,200 species of wildflowers, the Kalbarri National Park is renowned for its incredibly high diversity. Some of these species are unique to Kalbarri and found nowhere else. There’s always something fabulous flowering, but the main wildflower season is between early July and mid-November (weather dependent). During peak wildflower season in August and September, the landscape is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour. Explore the sand plains for starflowers, kangaroo paws, feather flowers and orchids, and more. Further east towards Galena Bridge, discover carpets of pink and white everlastings. One of the later flowers to emerge is the aptly named smelly socks (white plume grevillea). These distinctive plants growing along the roadside display pink buds at the end of long stalks that open out to big, beautiful, white flowers that release a sickly-sweet smell at dusk to attract nocturnal insect pollinators. Take note too, of the native pine trees growing along the roadside. They’re sandplain cypress (Callitris). The Kalbarri Visitor Centre will keep you up to date with what’s flowering where. Tip: Pop in to see the friendly staff for a wildflower update.

History & Heritage LYNTON HISTORICAL SITE Lynton town site was established in 1853 as a Convict Depot providing labour for mining and agriculture developing in the area. The ruins of this town can be seen from the Port Gregory Road, and still standing is part of the jail, magistrates' quarters and hiring depot. Lynton Station has Captain Sanford Homestead, with views of the ocean and Pink Lake. The Old Barn incorporates a museum where you can take in this unique piece of Australian history. WARRIBANNO CHIMNEY An unsealed road takes you to the site of the original lead smelter for Geraldine Mine. It was one of the first to be built in WA over 150 years ago after lead was discovered by Augustus Gregory while he was exploring the area for pastoral development. The site still retains solid stonework and foundations from its working days. Nowadays it’s adorned with wildflowers when in season and is a great spot to visit if you have enough time. NANDA DREAMTIME STORIES The Nanda people (Wurdimarlu), the traditional custodians of the Kalbarri region, are the saltwater people of this land. They hold deep cultural knowledge and traditions, including stories from the Dreamtime, which explain the creation and shaping of the land. One such story tells of Beemarra, a serpent who travelled down the Murchison River during the spiritual Dreamtime. Drawn by the sound of the waves, Beemarra followed a creek and then moved underground, creating a tunnel to reach the coast. At the Kalbarri Coastal Cliffs, Beemarra was startled by the thundering waves and returned to the safety of the Murchison River. The path she took is remembered in the landscape as a tunnel through a red sandstone outcrop.

The town of Port Gregory lies south of Kalbarri near the mouth of Hutt River. This picturesque fishing village is encircled by five kilometres of exposed reef. Originally established to serve the Geraldine Lead Mine and whalers, it soon became clear it wasn’t suitable for large vessels. Rich in history, Port Gregory was once bombarded by a submarine during WWII. Further down the road is Lynton Station, home to the Governor’s mansion and stone convict ruins. Great for fishing and swimming and locals say the road in gives you the best view of the Pink Lake. HORROCKS

PORT GREGORY @Ocean2OutbackImagery

HORROCKS

Named after convict Joseph Horrocks, who was transported to Western Australia in 1851 for forging and uttering (the use of a forged document). This small coastal town is a scenic family holiday spot with safe swimming and fishing, windsurfing and kiteboarding. South of Horrocks lies the Bowes River, with good shore fishing and surfing at the river mouth. NORTHAMPTON One of the oldest settlements in Western Australia, gazetted in 1864 and classified as a historical town by the National Trust of Australia in 1993.
