Kalbarri Airport (KAX) Kalbarri · 10 km
Approximate distances. Check flights and bus, train or boat schedules before you travel.

How many days
One or two days: the inland gorges in one day and the coastal cliffs on another.
When to go
From August to October, for the wildflowers. Winter has mild days; summer is very hot in the gorges.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Yes: the gorges are about 30 km from the village, and the cliffs stretch along the coast. In Australia you drive on the left.
