Stunning photos! Wow, they make me want to go back to Kalbarri (haven’t been there in quite a few years)… I sure hope when I do go back that I can avoid the bickering couples and obnoxious bogans hahahaha
Usually getting up bright and early in the morning does the trick. 😉

@Hilda – I actually saw some hiking boots with stilettos – lace ups, thick rubber tread, and HEELS!! Who knew?!?!
@Nikki – We’ve been pretty lucky … but sooner or later we had to hit the crowds!! I bet we’ll be on our own when we do the 8km hike sometime in the future though …
@Glen – Haha! But you KNOW you’re a Brit Tourist when … rivers start smiling at you!!!
@whiteangel – Hell, even I didn’t realise how hot it would be!!! Those warning signs are there for a reason!!
@Sami – Yeah, same! Next time we’ll go when it’s a bit cooler & do the hike in the morning!! If you look REALLY carefully you’ll see the Window just below the carpark in the panorama shot!!! Amazing, huh?!

Great photos Red. I have been there and loved the beautiful scenery. Didn’t do the 8km loop though….far too hot! The panoramic photo with the car park is amazing!

Lovely formation.
Many people don’t realise the harshness of our country in some areas. Always carry water, hats for shade of the head/face etc…

When rivers start smiling at you – it’s probably time to get in the shade

Your blog posts are always worth a visit and this one is great. What a beautiful feature. Too bad you didn’t get to enjoy it alone. I love it when I stumble across a spot when no one else is visiting. It would have been nice to enjoy this sort of marvel in peace. Happy travels.

That rock formation is just amazing and the views are absolutely stunning!

Your fellow hikers sound like an awful bunch, though. And, hey, I've seen tourists here trying to walk on our beaches in stilettos. It's just crazy.

Oh, these pics brought back memories!
We used to live in Albany, and took a trip up to Kalbarri many years ago. What a stunning environment!

Natural Bridge at "The Gap" was our town's cliche shot - The "edge of Antarctica".

And obligatory, cliche or ubiquitous, such lovely images as yours are compulsory. Not many have had the pleasure of visiting this amazing part of the world. Now, they can - minus the heatstroke and heels :D
