Spectacular Gorges

The rugged terrain of the Murchison River has carved deep gorges into the landscape. Coloured with vivid red rock contrasting with the lush green foliage of the vegetation and streaked with the blue waters of the river, these attributes combine to provide a really beautiful scene.

What's the weather like?

Kalbarri enjoys a Mediterranean, almost subtropical climate with pleasant weather year-round. It receives less rainfall than nearby Geraldton—umbrellas are rare! Ideal for a holiday town, summer (Dec–Feb) averages 35°C max and 16°C min, while winter (Jun–Aug) averages 21°C max and 9°C min, making it perfect for outdoor activities all year.

A bit of Kalbarri' history

In 1839, Lieutenant George Grey was shipwrecked near the Murchison River and walked 500km to Perth, becoming the first white explorer of the Central West coast. Settled intermittently by miners and fishermen, the area was known as 'The Mouth of the Murchison' until named Kalbarri—an Aboriginal word meaning 'seed'—despite few residents as late as 1943.
