The cabin in the caravan park at Kalbarri was interesting –
a little old and needing more care, and there was a problem with a power point
– zapped me!!! Late at night when it
happened, I just resolved to keep myself away from the powerpoint and the
aluminium door frame which also zapped me.
I reported it in the morning, but I knew there was nothing that could be
done late at night.
I spent some time writing after arriving, and was up early
the next morning to go back to some of the cliffs I missed out the day before. There really are some spectacular
cliffs.
A funny thing happened when I visited one area of the cliffs
– all areas have designated car/caravan parking, and there are boards with
information etc. At one of the areas I
noticed two people walking along one of the tracks on the edge of the cliff, and moments later the guy
(all alone) walked past me. I looked up
the pathway and the girl was nowhere to be seen. Did he push her over? My heart started to beat a little faster and
I pondered what had happened. Did he…….? I set off on the track that they had been on, a little
tentatively I must admit, and after a short walk came to an interesting shelter
in the bushes – and there was the girl.
She greeted me, with a comment about the beauty of the region and her
sighting of two kangaroos just nearby.
She was from NSW, but with a Canadian accent as she had lived there for
a while and the boyfriend was Canadian. I told her then, about my initial
concerns for her welfare and she laughed.
She and the boy had been contemplating how easy it would be to push someone over the edge….. The guy returned and
we all had a laugh about it.
There are many beautiful places to see along this coastline
– and my short stay did not allow me to see all. I keep saying – maybe one day I can get back
to see those places I missed – many quite a few kilometres from the main road,
and often on unmade roads and in some cases quite rough.
I went back to the caravan park, which was delightfully sited
on the road wit the Murchison River beyond.
It is a pretty little town. I loaded my car and set off, this time,
taking time out to see some of the other spectacular scenery.
Here’s a selection of photos from around Kalbarri.
