2011-11-02 -- 08: Australia - Perth to Kalbarri National Park

After 26 hours travelling we arrived in the early evening to Perth. We had booked a hotel room for two nights in the central part of the city to get a chance to see Perth and the sailing centre Freemantle before we continued north. Both Perth and Freemantle were very positive experiences and we could easily spent more time there.

With our rented brand new Nissan X-trail 4WD we followed the coast north, and travelled through very exclusive areas with beautiful houses that looked like castles. After a couple of hours driving, there was a dramatic changes of scenery - no houses, and bush landscape as long as you could see. We spent a couple of hours walking and driving in Pinnacle Desert, which is part of Nambung National Park.

Beautiful place! Link to information regarding Pinnacles Desert: Pinnacles Desert

We continued our journey north, and headed for Kalbarri. Kalbarri have a lot to offer - wonderful beaches, a fantastic parrot park, and a beautiful National Park. We enjoyed it all!

The parrots in Rainbow Jungle Park are amazing - and it is equally amazing to be informed that these fantastic birds in some areas are considered pest, as they steal the crop from fruit farms.

Kalbarri Parks flowers are just stunning. Most of them grow on bushes.
