The magical transformation of Kalbarri, with its captivating Skywalk, scenic café, and beautifully arranged surroundings, is truly a sight to behold. This place, where nature's tranquility blends seamlessly with impressive human creation, unveils an experience of unrivalled charm. The change from my last visit, when the roads were mere unsealed tracks, to today’s fully sealed roads leading smoothly into this natural haven, has been extraordinary.
Beyond the roads, a special mention goes to the excellent parking facilities available. Conveniently located and spaciously laid out, they add to the ease of the visit, accommodating many vehicles and ensuring a hassle-free start to the adventure. Caravans and trailers can be left at a purpose built van park at the entry to the park.
The Skywalk, a marvel in architectural design, is the mesmerising centrepiece in this lush panorama. Crafted with a detailed finesse that only adds to the surrounding natural beauty, it serves as an ethereal walkway into the skies.
Scattered around the area, the meticulously crafted statues of native animals blend in perfectly, enhancing the ambiance and offering a respectful nod to the local heritage. Equally engaging is the informative storyboards, offering insightful information about the rich history and significance of the local area.
The café, quaint and charming, allows for a quiet moment of reflection. Here, visitors can sip a refreshing drink while feasting their eyes on the captivating panoramic view.
Just as impressive are the well-maintained toilet facilities. Clean, modern version of the long drop, they contribute to the overall positive experience and speak volumes about the careful consideration given to visitor comfort.
This dramatic evolution of Kalbarri and its Skywalk reflects the region's natural beauty and the harmonious blend of human innovation with nature. The experience is indeed magical, and is a testament to the spirit of this enchanting corner of the world. The enhanced infrastructure, notably the car park and toilet facilities, only heighten the seamless and comfortable experience, making a visit to the Skywalk an absolute must.

Read moreSkywalk was opened to the public in 2020. It is free to visit as long as you've paid the Kalbarri Park entry fee. This attraction is located at end of the road, fairly near to the Nature's Window lookout. There is a large parking area, public toilets and cafe (open from 8am to 3pm).
What you find at Skywalk are two extended walkways which perch over the gorge rim 25 metres and 17 metres into the gorge around 100-metres off the ground below. From the walkways you have outstanding views of the Murchison River, the cliffs below and depths of the Kalbarri National Park in the distance. Bring binoculars and you can look for kangaroos and other wildlife and birdlife around the river below.
We found SkyWalk to be a wonderful addition to the Kalbarri National Park experience. It is great add-on for those making quick and short trips in the Park and a place to enjoy leisurely time and perhaps a couple stops if you have a couple days to explore the...

There is plenty of parking here as well as a few toilets scattered around. There are quite a few aboriginal-inspired designs throughout the skywalk which made it quite unique. You can also catch glimpses of statues of animals around the area. There are two sets of skywalk bridges in the area. There is also a cafe and a bit of covered seating area.

There were quite a few flies when we went in June but nothing too overwhelming, just a...
