In Kalbarri National Park everything is ochre. For those who appreciate a stroll, you won't be at all disappointed by this 8 km loop which is sometimes overlooking, or sometimes engulfed in, the river bed; a witness of the geological past.
My suggestion
The park is only an hour from Kalbarri, entry is at a fee, it's forbidden to spend the night there but advised to visit very early in the morning to avoid the risk of heatstroke and attacks from groups of flies as a rule!

A town of 2,000 inhabitants on the seaside, Kalbarri is located at the mouth of the Murchison River, which runs through the adjacent national park.
My suggestion
Go to the Kalbarri National Park, the Hawk's Head and Ross Graham viewpoints, and visit the Loop and Z-Benz gorges. Take a selfie at Nature Window. Surf at one of the famous spots of Kalbarri. Discover the lake toward the south.
This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
