Kalbarri Information
Put on your leisure wear, add a bit of vitality, and it won’t be long before those great vacation memories begin stacking up. Do your favourite thing or try something new. You will find it all in Kalbarri.
Offshore the marine life is without rival. Dolphins and whales frequent the coastal fringe and fishing is excellent throughout the year. At rest its gorges are a scenic delight. In flood its power is awesome. During winter rains it rivals a Garden of Eden. In the dead heat of summer it is a means of survival for native and feral animals alike.
Only a few million years young, it has carved a gorge through the ancient and spectacular Tumblagooda Sandstone. The contrast of brownish red and purple against the bands of white is one of the wonders of the National Park, and draws thousands of visitors each year. Its banded sandstone layers are rich with trace fossils dating back to the very dawn of life.
FISHING
Kalbarri boasts some of the best, easily accessible, all-year round shore and boat angling between Perth and Exmouth. Tailor and mulloway are the main targets for shore anglers. However, whiting, gardies, dart, samson fish, herring, small threadfin salmon, skipjack, trevally, blacktipped whaler shark, and various reef fish such as snapper, jewfish, groper and cod are all encountered within close proximity to Kalbarri. Anglers have also been delighted with catches of tuna, spanish mackerel, cobia, dolphin fish and samson fish.
A whale watching cruise in this spectacular region of Western Australia is an absolute must. Off Kalbarri, the whales give birth to their calves, mate and then rest before beginning their return journey to the Antarctic. Visitors will have the chance to watch calves at play and late in the season the awesome spectacle of the mating rituals of the adults.
