Kalbarri Skywalk

Kalbarri Skywalk
The wait is over the Kalbarri Skywalk is now open...

The Kalbarri Skywalk project, which involved the construction of two lookouts extending over the edge of the Murchison River Gorge, has opened in the Kalbarri National Park.

Breathtaking twin skywalks will become a major tourism draw card for Kalbarri, providing stunning vistas of the Murchison River Gorge's rust-red cliffs, flowing water and bushland from high above.

The cantilevered steel structures, which are anchored deep into the sandstone, allow visitors to look down into the gorge through steel mesh. The bigger walkway extends 25 metres out over the gorge edge, which is way further than the Grand Canyon Skywalk in America, so it is quite spectacular.

A complete redevelopment of the existing Z Bend lookout with parking for coaches and large caravans, a kiosk, walking trails, interpretative signage, shade shelters and toilets. The new Skywalk Kalbarri will be universally accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities and they will be able to enjoy feeling like they are floating above the Murchison River Gorge.

The Kalbarri National Park Skywalk is a short distance of 1.5 kilometres from another of the parks top attractions, Natures Window. The Kalbarri lookout project has been made possible thanks to the Royalty's for Regions funding and the Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Kalbarri National Park
The Kalbarri National Park surrounds the lower reaches of the Murchison River, which has cut a magnificent 80 kilometre gorge through the red and white banded sandstone to create formations such as Natures Window/The Loop, Z-Bend and Hawks Head, with scenic gorge views at the Ross Graham Lookout and views of the town and river mouth at Meanarra Hill. Drinking water is not available in Kalbarri National Park so always carry your own supply.

Along the coast, wind and wave erosion has exposed the sedimentary layers in the sandstone cliffs that plunge more than 100 metres to the ocean. Red Bluff, Mushroom Rock, Rainbow Valley, Eagle Gorge, Island Rock and the Natural Bridge are among the best-known features of this rugged coast.
