Day 2: Kalbarri to Denham

After an early rise we take a short drive to Murchison Gorge in Kalbarri National Park to explore Natures Window, the Loop and discover the wonders of the Z-Bend Gorge. At Z-Bend Gorge it is an exhilarating 150 metre descent into the heart of the gorge  well worth the effort  where there is time to explore and swim in the tranquil fresh water pools. For the adventurous there is even an opportunity to try your hand at abseiling (at own expense). After a well earned lunch it's time to make our way toward Monkey Mia, stopping at the beautiful Shell Beach and then onto Denham for our overnight stop. (BLD)

Here you can also enjoy a sail boat cruise (at own expense) to view more magnificent creatures of the sea of this vast area. All too soon its time to leave Monkey Mia and begin our return journey south. On the way we visit Eagle Bluff and Hamelin Pool with its amazing stromatolites before heading to our Farmstay at Northampton. (BLD)
