Kalbarri : Nature's Window
This image is included in 2 galleries :- 1) "2020 03 30 Fahrradbote" curated by BAKAWI and 2) "Landscape" by Yogesh Gond.
This iconic attraction (also called Window to the World) is a wind-eroded opening in the layered sandstone area. It is a moderate, one-kilometre return walk beginning with a flight of stairs from the lookout at the carpark. Views of the gorge are available from the sealed path and lookouts before the final, rocky section. To the left and below of the natural arch is the Murchison River.
The geology of the area is fascinating. The thinly bedded, red and white banded Tumblagooda rocks through most of the river gorge were deposited millions of years ago on tidal flats. Rippled surfaces can be seen around Nature’s Window. The ripples were formed during ancient times by waves moving over tidal flats in a shallow sea.
Kalbarri is a coastal town in the mid-west region located 592 km north of Perth, Western Australia.
