We left Geraldton and headed up towards Kalbarri. We stopped into the Convict Historic site in Lynton to stretch our legs️. Pretty interesting place with lots of history. We then headed into Lucky Bay, our campground of choice for a couple of nights. We found a nice spot in the camping area and set ourselves up.
The following day we drove down onto the beach, up near the lagoon. We parked up with our mates Ben & Haylee and tried our hand at fishing from the beach. No luck land fishing, but Ben speared the largest samson fish we had ever seen! Such a funny moment, as Kurt had just said 10 minutes prior ‘there’s no fish here’. Ben filleted it and divided it amongst us and fellow campers, so the fillets were not wasted. We then finished off the day, sat back around a campfire with a few beers, reliving the events of the day.
After 2 nights at Lucky️ Bay, we decided to move into Kalbarri, but first we detoured back down to Hutt lagoon. This was our first pink lake we have sighted all trip! We were stoked it was so large and so very pink! We grabbed some happy snaps, before heading north and into Kalbarri.
Natures Window
Kalbarri
Murchison House Station was the perfect place to base ourselves in Kalbarri. We grabbed a nice spot by the river and settled in. You can wander around the house and into the old shearing shed. They had a handful of animals you could pat, clean amenities with hot showers and you were allowed campfires. What a place to stay hey!
The following day, we got up nice and early and headed into Kalbarri Nation Park to see the popular Nature Window and do the 8km loop walk. Surprisingly a great walk with lots to see. The river was quite full, which was nice to see. We even saw a small waterfall towards the end. The following day we had an easy morning and then headed into town. We made our way down the coast, checking out all the lookouts, gorges and points of interest. The views from Eagle gorge, were probably one of our favourites along the stretch. It was too cold and windy to do any swimming unfortunately.
On our final day in Kalbarri, we got up at the crack of dawn and headed back into the National Park to do the Z-bend gorge walk. A great view from the lookout and a relatively semi-physical 2km return walk down to the rivers edge. Highly recommend doing this walk first thing in the morning, we spotted wild goats and had the place to ourselves.
Well thanks Kalbarri, you sure lived up to your hype, now for a mad dash up to Tamala Station before it closes for Sunday.

been home for 6 months now watching your videos certainly makes me wonder why. Can't wait to do it all again although I can't say I enjoyed the Kalbarri flies never seen so manu

[@izackscally6406]

That's half way bay. If you keep going north towards wagoe chalets you will come across the lagoon. :D

[@wilzombieaudiobooks8143]

We need more episodes!

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

Woah insane catch with the spear gun! Jeez how bloody gorgeous is the coast of WA, We completed our loop of WA not so long ago. Kalbarri is easily my favourite. Love your work guys 😍

When we go on the great trip 'round Australia, we are going to launch a youtube channel that covers the worse spots - you guys are thoroughly covering the best spots!

[@Sparkysontheloose]

haha that sounds like a great idea! i wonder what would be on the list :D

[@Dorko85]

Love Lucky Bay, camp just behind the lagoon with the camper no worries. Just let the pressure down to 15 👌🏽

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Yeah we were tempted but the Nav would've struggled.

[@bradthurkle7217]

What an awesome video guys. Such a beautiful place kalbarri.we took our kids there about 18 years ago and done window thing. Lucky for us at time no one lining up for pictures. We also done a boat tour there in the river . The out door fish a chip shop was awesome to. Not sure if it’s still there. Those tracks you guys done like great fun. Make me wonder if there’s in any fish 🎣 in some of those water holes. Thanks again for sharing your fantastic adventures.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Cheers Brad, never saw the fish and chip shop. I reckon a lot has changed in 18years, would love to go back and do some fishing in the inlet there.

[@bradthurkle7217]

Sparkys on the loose yeah true that. Apparently you can catch the odd mulloway there to just off the rocks near the outlet. We saw the pelicans being fed but they can be aggressive the old pelicans hehe. I’m not sure but I think they canned it now. But yeah it’s a really unique picturesque place. I could retire there no probs.

[@stephendimech7174]

Very good 👍👍😎

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Cheers Stephen!

[@TheSpousey]

So there are two Lucky Bays in WA, I only knew of the one in Cape Legrande NP 60 ks east of Esperance great work Sparkys

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Yeah it gets very confusing when talking about them haha. Both are amazing places though!

[@brianboys9015]

Cool you two.And Rusty the spoilt.

[@swimadamswim]

Great video guys so I wanted to ask you for someone living in the UK but about to move to Australia what do you think of kalbarri and would you recommend maybe looking at it if I was semi retired ? Nice place ? Also is that beach near Kalbarri town if you can remember? Great stuff.

[@Mel-he1hl]

[@aidanrolls8201]

[@chrisadams862]

Awesome Vid's what do you do with the dog when you visit the national parks ?

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Thanks Chris, check out our travelling with a dog podcast, heaps of tips.

[@anotherfakemsmchannel1331]

how many more vids you got coming out from Kalbarri onwards till you arrived home?? and when will you guys put them up? watched from the beginning keen to see through till the end.

[@Sparkysontheloose]

G'day Jefferey, we are roughly 20 videos behind. We have plenty of stuff in the works. Thanks for the ongoing support 👍

[@AAAA-vu7fp]

How do you protect against snakes

[@jiggyfishing5890]

It’s a Amber jack . Much more impressive and better eating than a Sambo 👌🏽

[@brockbismire8781]

What do you guys do with the dog when you’re in the national parks? I’m wanting to do a similar trip but don’t wanna leave the dog at home

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Pet sitters

[@rocknwash]

Great Video. One thing I don't agree on Dog been caged in a vehicle. I don't know 2020 thing cage your dog but in the 1980`s dog sat behind in back seat happy as than un happy dog in a cage. Dog has the right to sit in the back seat happy as head out the window been a dog...

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Dogs have to be restrained while in a vehicle, just following the law. Rusty loves her cage.

[@rocknwash]

Yes I know about the law.

[@baumie4618]

How Bulldog lives his cage! Makes him feel safe, we even take it out at night so he can sleep in it!👍🤙

[@baumie4618]

*Our 🤦‍♂️

[@beachartaustralia3708]

[@greywolf000]

I always found it curious how electricians just have to mention they are electricians :P

[@grantkerr2971]

Like your work guys. Well done on that monster of a Sampson fish! It’s good practice to knife em in the brain ASAP for humanity sake, also no mention of how many fillets you got out of it or how it cooked up.....what was it like?

[@Sparkysontheloose]

Managed to get 3 good serves which Ben gave us and a fellow camper a serve each. Tasted pretty nice but it aint no Barra.

[@benwinter2420]

One of our associates up north was a fellow called one armed _ _ _ _ that got one arm blown off & half the other in a substation accident . . since then I do all my own work
