Cervantes to Kalbarri

Day 37-38
10-11th March 2009



We travelled from Cevantes to Kalbarri - a distance of about 250 klms. Kim's back started playing up so we stayed at Kalbarri in a caravan park on the Murchison River. It is very hot, having reached about 40 degrees with the minimum (expected late evening) of about 24 degrees. The main attraction is the beaches, the Murchison River and the Gorges of the Murchison (further inland).

We have driven around and saw some of the sights and spent time in the swimming pool trying to cool down.



On our second day at Kalbarri we watched the pelicans being fed in the morning and drove the camper out to the Gorges. We loved the sandy tracks, the odd kangaroo and the Gorges of the Murchison.



Kim went for a walk down to a rock formation called Natures Window and almost collapsed from heat exhaustion. I wasn't feeling much better sitting in the camper but at least I didn't have to contend with the swarm of flies that seem endemic to the area.
