Kalbarri

The road south from Shark Bay took in some splendid coastal vegetation.

 

 

 

Beautiful Kalbarri looks great second time around, plus we caught the very end of the wildflower season with wonderful displays along the road through the National Park. 

 

 

 

Inside the park, we went to the Murchison River Gorges for a hike to spectacular Z Bend and Nature's Window.

 

 

We stayed a night at Murchison House Station, a delightful place with goats, alpacas, and old memorabilia from its days as a sheep station. Once owned by the heir to the Sultan of Turkey, the station now holds 5000 goats which are mustered each year and shipped off to Geraldton and the Middle East for meat. Jah, as he was known, would choose his wives on the basis of whether they would open a station gate.
