Paradise: parrots, pelicans, palms, pool, beaches, bars, beautiful scenery - it's all here in Kalbarri.
Oh no, I sound like a travel programme; move over, Judith Chalmers, I want your job, and I'm younger and thinner than you too!
Of all the places I have visited in Australia, Kalbarri is the place I would most like to return to (and even settle down in).
This is the view I had from the apartment's balcony:
Just behind the apartment was a lovely outdoor pool with the usual soft drinks machine and free barbies.
Visited Kalbarri National Park where the Warden guide explained how the Aboriginals had taught him how to differentiate between different varieties of kangaroo poo by taste. I called his bluff and found the poo was actually licorice. He said only 3 people had ever taken him up on it: they were all female, and all Poms!
Climbed down to an Aboriginal camp, but the guide said they only used it for one night at a time as apparently they didn't like Kalbarri; something to do with the Dreamtime.
Also visited Rainbow Jungle which is a sanctuary/breeding centre for parrots. One parrot took a fancy to me and put on a great display for me.
On the way back to Geraldton stopped off to see Red Bluff, the Natural Bridge, and Island Rock.
Very sad to leave Kalbarri, but hope to return someday soon.
