We stayed at the Murchison River Caravan
Park. Our visit was during a busy period (school holidays), however, the park
and facilities were clean. One of the benefits about this park is the unisex
toilets/showers meaning Craig can take the girls if needed. They are a block of little
rooms consisting of toilet, basin and shower, rather than the traditional
mens/womens toilet blocks. Another benefit of the Murchison park is that they
have a natural 'aqua fed' which services the park, meaning the water that came
from the taps was crystal clear and perfect for drinking. This saved us a lot
on buying bottled water.
Everything in town is in a close proximity, you could holiday here and not have to even start the car! There are two
supermarkets however they were VERY expensive so it is advisable to stock up on
food and supplies in Perth. For example, broccoli was $12.99 a kilo. On saying that
on our last day, and the first day of non school holiday period, some of the
prices dropped at least 50% so I guess food prices will depend on peak seasons.
There are some lovely beaches a short drive
out of town. Our family visited Red Bluff which was a little ‘choppy’ for the
kids to swim in but is a popular beach for surfing and playing on the sand. In
the town itself there are plenty of spots by the river to paddle and play with
the sandpit toys.
This year was the first since we have had
the kids that we went to the National Park. There are several short and long
bush walks to do along the gorges and the sights are spectacular.
We certainly left Kalbarri in holiday mode, although
it was a hard concept to realize I wasn’t going ‘home’ this time!
