Kalbarri....you'll love it

We had a major disaster when we left Denham....the dvd player had stopped worked.  We were now going to have to entertain our children ourselves!!!!  After checking the laptop (flat) and iPad (also flat - but could be charged in the car) we started playing eye spy and rhyming games - it was going to be a long 350kms today!!!

We actually survived quite well and even made it to Kalbarri by lunchtime.  I managed to get the DVD player to spring back to life (with a good bang with my fist!) and the last 80kms was very peaceful.  The temperature was again over 30 degrees so we spent the afternoon at the park and having a paddle at the beach.

Charlotte and I went for a stroll down to the foreshore (all of 100 metres away from our caravan park) to feed the local pelicans the next morning - while Will had a play with his cars.  The pelicans were a bit cheeky, but did enterain the crowd.  Charlotte once again got to feed the wildlife although she was a little apprehensive of their big beaks!!










We decided that we were ready to visit another gorge (it has been a few weeks) so we headed out to the Kalbarri National Park to visit the Nature's window and do a couple of short hikes.  We were very impressed by the scenery and took the necessary photographs.  We even got a good taste of the wildflowers that are everywhere here now which were very beautiful.

The last day in Kalbarri was a bit overcast and it even tried to rain.  I went for a quick run (although my pace wasn't quick at all) and Mel took the kids to the park.  We all then went off to Australia's largest parrot/rosella park where the birds flew all around the kids who had a ball.

We are going to treat ourselved to Fish and Chips tonight - looking forward to not having to cook.
