* Tried to be up early but not as early as we wanted. On the road before 8am.
* Arrived at Kalbarri National Park and its first 2 lookouts around 9pm. View is good at the 1st one, the second one is pretty crap.
* Drove to The Loop, had breakfast in the carpark and started the 8km walk by 10.30. Were slow at 1st (getting use to be careful walking with my injured toe) but managed to do the whole walk in 3h! (suggested between 3 and 5).
* The Loop passes by Nature's Window (a hole in a rock - making a window shape), then you walk on the rim of a gorge for 3kms, go down in the gorge and walk along the Murchison River (rocks and sandy bank), you have to climb a bit at some places. No shade.
* After finishing The Loop we had lunch at the shaded picnic tables (sandwiches), then headed to another walk called Z-Bend (from the shape of the river).
* Went to the lookout together, but only Damien did the whole walk to the gorge. Waited for him back at the car with a book. Damien went a bit in the water, I took a nap.
* Drove to Kalbarri village to find a campsite for the night. Found space at the ranch (they have beautiful horses).
* Had showers and dinner. Talked a long while with French-speaking Swiss. Very interesting people.
* Went to bed quite late. It is our last night in a campsite.
