Nature's Window- Kalbarri National Park- Western Australia

From the main road to Kalbarri from the north, a turnoff puts one onto a 30 kilometre long unsealed road within the national park. There are several lookouts to the Murchison River below, but by far the best known one is Nature's Window, shown here.

 

From the carpark, a 500m sealed walk takes visitors down to the feted formation, and onward to the river below for the superfit. The pathway is lined by wildflowers, seen at their best in Springtime. The river is at its lowest point in Spring, but during late summer can be huge!

 

The sandstone of the region is believed by scientists to be 400 million years old. The view is fabulous.

 

Kalbarri National Park is in fact in two parts, the inland park seen here, and the coastal park south of the township of the same name.
