Chrissy heads to Kalbarri and takes a step on the Natural Bridge Boardwalk.
- With so much to explore, from coastal cliffs to pristine beaches, extending your stay in Kalbarri is highly recommended to truly immerse yourself in all that this majestic coastline has to offer.
- The Class 1, 1.2km return boardwalk connects Island Rock and Natural Bridge, offers convenient access from either carpark, with the Island Rock carpark recommended as the starting point.
- Along the boardwalk, a seating area invites visitors to pause, relax, and soak in the breathtaking coastal views.
- For those with extra time, consider continuing along portions of the Bigurda, which translates to small kangaroo in Nanda language, a Class 3, 8km one-way (16km return) walk, offering approximately 4 hours of exploration.
- Island Rock, once part of the shoreline, now stands as a solitary sea stack against the relentless ocean waves, offering striking views from nearby viewing platforms.
- The Natural Bridge lookouts offer visitors stunning coastal views and the chance to spot dolphins and whales, particularly during the Humpback Whale migration season from June to October.
- Kalbarri's towering sea cliffs boast scenic lookouts and walking trails, providing opportunities for all to experience the rugged beauty of the WA coast, with crystal clear swimming beaches, snorkelling reefs, and world-class surf breaks.
