Day 4 – Kalbarri Wilderness Cruise, Kalbarri National Park,
This morning board the Princess Kalbarri Wilderness Cruises with Skipper Grant to experience the mouth of the Murchison River Eco System
The cruise follows the channel up the river with full commentary along the way, there is no rush and there’s a lot to see.
The lower reaches of the Murchison River are home to a number of species of birdlife including Ospreys, Kites, Pelicans, Egrets, Australian Shell Ducks, Black Swans and our local White Breasted Sea Eagles.
As well as Emus, Kangaroos and wild Goats are often seen on the riverbanks.
The river at times can be 40mm deep with mullet jumping, small fish and crabs.
The Murchison River is a very vital ecosystem and what we see on each cruise is always different.
At the turn around point sometimes there is time to pull up to the shore and take a stroll along the riverbank, then on the return journey plenty of time to relax, take photos and enjoy.
The cruise comes to and end at the Murchison River Mouth, one of WA’s most treacherous.
It’s impressive to watch the water move through channel and boats come and go.
This afternoon we visit the Kalbarri National Park for spectacular views of the Murchison River Gorges. Experience new Skywalk which over hangs the Murchison River gorges 100 metres above the riverbed. Awesome views of the Murchison River wending its way out to the coast at Kalbarri.
Kalbarri National Park is highly regarded for its extraordinary seasonal flowers which can start in July and continue to flower late October with pops of colour from local Verticordias and many other local species.
