My brother, Tim, and I can up with a plan to get out of Perth. Kalbarri is about an eight hour drive from Perth and not too expensive so it seemed like a good plan to get away from a wet winter/spring. We made stops at Jurien Bay and Geralton. Harry handled the trip pretty well which is a good sign that he's ready for more longer car trips. It was pretty late by the time we arrived but the next day we were out and about exploring.
We concentrated on the coastal cliffs. It's a bit like WA's answer to the Great Ocean Road. This one is Natural Bridge (also along the Great Ocean Road).
This is Island Rock, just on the other side of Natural Bridge.
September is the time when the whales start migrating south. We could see them a couple of kilometres offshore breaching and fin slapping. Even with a long lens the photos aren't great.
By lunchtime the sea breeze was in so we packed it in and settled in at the house for the afternoon.
Once Harry was awake from his afternoon sleep we did a little more exploring. Pot Alley was a bit sheltered from the wind.
Kalbarri rarely disappoints when it comes to sunsets.
There were even a couple of very cheeky pelicans to keep Harry entertained.
