Kalbarri

We had a great days drive from Denham to Kalbarri really only stopping for fuel after viewing the stromatolites.

We pulled into our caravan site late in the day and after setting up we really only had time for a quick shop and a sit down. We did a tour of the town ship and discovered that one of the main reasons for us visiting Kalbarrii, the Seahorse farm, was closed, and had been for about 12 months.

Late in the evening we al went for a walk along the beach, and using a bright torch Caitlyn and i spotted catfish, crabs and various other fish in the shallows.

The next day we went out to the Rainbow Jungle bird sanctuary. This turned out to be a great choice as they had a fantastic selection of birds in a great setting. In the large free flight aviary the kids got to feed the various parrots they had loose.

 

After this it was back to the van for a quick lunch as we had booked a Quad bike tour with Wagoe Quad bikes. We had heard about them through various people and booked them as soon as we had arrived and new the weather would be suitable. This was another great choice as we all loved it. I had Caitlyn on my bike and Sara and Bianca had the second bike. Our guide, the owner of the wagoe farm, took us out onto a private beach that is only accessible through two farms, his and his neighbours. We rode the bikes up and down the beach and then went into 4WD mode and tackled some big sand dunes. It was great fun and we would do it again.

Whilst we were off having fun on the Quad bikes, Mum, Dad and Corinda went out to see “Natures Window”. The commodore would not have liked the road out unfortunately. They loved it and said it was a great experience, but the track was a bit light on in some places and had a very long drop off to one side if you miss placed a foot. Caitlyn would of had me very worried if we had taken her there as she likes to run off ahead
