Kalbarri

Our journey south is slow. Yes, there was a head wind but the temperatures are colder....not good.

Kalbarri was home for a week.

With a golf course nearby, coastal cliffs with passing whales and dolphins less than five kilometers away, inland gorges and lots of wildflowers there was plenty to enjoy for a few days. That I could pay a weekly fee at the golf club was a distinct bonus. Value for money it was!

Kalbarri is predominantly a holiday destination at the mouth of the Murcheson River. The swimming/paddling is safe along the river and there are a few additional attractions around the town. We visited the wildflower centre and Rainbow Jungle, a parrot breeding centre.



Every day there is Pelican Feeding on the beach at 8.45am. Days one and two were a wipe out - lots of people, no pelicans. The next day Percy turned up, and a few of his friends dropped in regularly after that. The feeding is done by volunteers - and I have forgotten this lady's name. She and Percy made a good double act.

It was a spot for a bit of exercise as well. Beth and I complete the 8 kms Loop walk from Nature's window, and the next day rode to Red Bluff - close to 10 kms return. Add at least nine holes of golf a day, and the leg muscles should be toned up by now.
