Due to the increasing heat, we decide to start our days early. Alarm at 5:03, quick beakfast and on the road at 6 am.
Kalbarri National Park is around 2.000 m2. After a few kilometers, we enter the park and the adventure begins ... impressive gorges, great lookouts and almost no other visitors. It is really worth to rise early and we will continue to do so.
Between 10 am and 4 pm the heat is hard to bear.
The Murchison River has created large and deep gorges, one of which is called the Z-Bend. It is very difficult to make photographs, and I excuse myself for the quality of mine .....
At one of the outlooks, we hear a group of youngsters laughing as they jump from the rocks into a small lake at the bottom of a rift. Had I been 30 years younger, I would have joined them. At the bottom of a gorge, the temperature is said to be around 50 C at noon.
On the way back, we see our very first kangouroos. A big and a much smaller one. Just at the side of the road.
After a couple of very enjoyable hours, we walk to the harbour to shop fish and prawns for supper. Pink Snapper, odf course - and a kilo of cooked prawns, ready to peel.
Then, to finish off nicely this beautiful Saturday, a "Sunset Cruise" on the Murchison River. 5-7.30 pm.
We are a small group, 12 people, a fat skipper and a very slim "helping hand" (lady). There is too much to tell ....
Dinner "at home", night swim under the stars - and early to bed.
