Continuing further along the coast my next stop was Kalbarri. Situated 590km North of Perth, Kalbarri is a popular holiday location nestled at the mouth of the spectacular Murchison River. There are many photo opportunities to be had along the coast or inland in the amazing gorges. I was lucky to be in Kalbarri when there was a fair bit of water flowing in the gorges, I have seen many photos with not much water and it is just not quite the same.
These shot’s are taken in Z bend gorge. One of the 2 most popular and well known gorges found in the area. I loved the rock formations and colours. Late in the afternoon the red really stands out, providing me with an amazing scene to photograph. Kalbarri is definitely somewhere I hope to get back to soon
Thanks

Nice shot mate ,
got to get back up there one time ,
Used to live up in Kalbarri so wished i had a camera back then . Renember climbing all over them georges when i was young
Nice images love the color of the rocks Stephen, what time of year was this, there seems to be a nice amount of water running?
Thanks Guys
Yeah it’s a fantastic place Kirk, would have been nice to explore the gorges! Hopefully i’ll get up there with some mates and we’ll go and tackle a few of the less touristy area’s.
This was back in April Neal. I was so lucky with my trip to the Pilbara. Rain the week before, and rain the week after. My 2 weeks were perfect! So there was a nice lot of water through the gorges. I tried to plan it to get me up there just after the cyclones and rains went through. Worked for me this time
Hi Stephen,
Nice shots, looks like it has potential for going much wider for a good stitch.
Nice colours.
Thanks Tom
The light reflecting through the gorge really was stunning
Hi Stephen,
I like the first image the best.As you stated you were lucky to see water like that there – definitely nowhere near that amount when I was there. I love the tones and hues as well – fantastic and thanks for sharing !
cheers,
