Kalbarri

100_4841Green Head

From The Pinnacles we headed north on the coast road.There are so many  fishing towns with beautiful harbours. This is Green Head and was so peaceful.

Further north at Port Gregory is Lynton Homestead built by Henry Sanford in 1853.It is  now a Heritage site restoration.It was originally a lease of 48,000 acres running sheep and 100 horses.

Our next stop was Kalbarri. Wind and wave erosion in this area has exposed these  coastal cliffs which are more than 100 metres high. This is Natural Bridge carved from the limestone and sandstone cliffs.

And jut a few kilometre s up the coast is the Shell House Grandstand and Eagle Gorge.

On our return to camp, we found this quiet fishing spot. Unfortunately there was more water than fish in this area.
