Today started off when we left Horrocks and travelled by the coast road to the Pink Lake at Port Gregory then up to Kalbarri and the National Park. So far on this trip we have missed out, with many attractions closed because of C19 but we finally lucked out at Kalbarri National Park. The Skywalk opened on Monday so we were there on its 3rd day of opening (not from C19 but its offical opening). It’s a magnificent new tourist attraction and we were very pleased it was open during our visit to the region. The Skywalk overlooks the Murchison River that has cut an 80 km gorge thru the Park, its basically Australia’s version of the Grand Canyon on a smaller scale.

Also we walked down to Nature’s Window, which is like a picture frame of Sandstone that looks down on the River. It’s another one of those special moments where its not what you expected but it far exceeds your expectations. Surprisingly it was a rather dangerous walk down to the Window and in today’s climate we where surprised that we could do it without any guide or safety rails in place. The National Park was a special place and all that for $8 each if you had a seniors card. Starting to get used to asking for the seniors discount although it still concerns I’m of the age that I have a seniors card!

After the National Park we travelled back south east to Highway 1 and then continued north to Billabong Roadhouse which is about 230 km’s north of Geraldton. The Roadhouse allows you to free camp in their grounds, which us and many other travellers took advantage of, although we all nearly went into their restaurant for dinner or takeaway, so they still made a quid out of us. It’s nothing special but it was still a safe and convenient place to stop overnight.

We’re off to Denham and Monkey Mia to view the Dolphins next, hopefully we have good weather as a storm came thru this afternoon and the forecast is for rain over the next few days, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
