Coastal Kalbarri.

A wave preempts a break in the Indian Ocean, south of Kalbarri.

Kalbarri is a coastal anomaly in Western Australia as it’s the only area in the southern half of the state where sandstone meets the ocean.  In general, south to Perth and north to the North West shelf, all of the cliffs are limestone.  This anomaly makes for a fantastic melange of contrasting colours.

Where Ocean Meets Land; just south of Kalbarri at Red Bluff Head.

North Beach, WA.

The view to the South from North Beach as the weak afternoon sunlight bathes the limestone retaining wall.

The weathered limestone coast of WA lends itself to some rather dramatic landscapes.  Where half hearted attempts haven’t been made to contain it, be by retaining wall or concrete plug, the natural features are simply impressive.  Some of the holes pictured went through the bench to the beach underneath; a good two metres down.
