The rich deep hues of the Indian Ocean contrast boldly against the sandy cliffs of Kalbarri.

Lichens, mosses, algae and stone combine to create a rainbow of colour in the Kalbarri National Park.

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.
