Week Commencing 10.10.10
Sunday 10.10.10 – A little bit of fishing and lazying around today.
Monday 11.10.10 – Up early and we head off to Kalbarri National Park with Bernie and Bev. We had a great day. We did the 8km Loop walk from Nature’s Window. We also visited Z Bend
The Murchison River – Only a few million years young, it has carved a gorge through the ancient and spectacular Tumblagooda Sandstone. The contrast of brownish red and purple against the bands of white is one of the wonders of the National Park, and draws thousands of visitors each year.
The Loop (Nature’s Window) – Several lookouts are positioned around The Loop to provide different views of the winding gorge below. A key attraction is Nature’s Window, a natural rock arch that superbly frames the upstream view. The 8km Loop begins and ends at Nature’s Window provides an unforgettable gorge experience.

Tuesday 12.10.10 – 14.10.10 – Not much happening this week, lots of walking resting and just enjoying some down time. It is great.
Friday 15.10.10 – Today we decided to venture to Port Gregory, we tagged along with The Two “Bs’. We came across the Pink Lake. Beautiful pinks and purple, just amazing.
The Pink Lake – The colour of the lagoon is due to a bacteria (Dunaliella salina) trapped in the salt granules; this provides a rich source of Beta Carotene which is harvested from small ponds. As the sun sinks, the lagoon changes colour from mauve or pink to a slightly darker purple.
Lynton Hiring Station Est 1853 & Sanford Grand House. We wandered through the ruined buildings and then up the hill to Sanford Grand House which is being lovely transformed to it prior glory.
Saturday 16.10.10 & Sunday 17.10.10 – Lunch at the pub and laze around pool in the afternoon. Sunday cleanup day as we are leaving Kalbarri tomorrow.
