Where To Go Birding Around Kalbarri

There are several possible birding areas in the Kalbarri region.  The town is basically surrounded by the Kalbarri National Park except on the west coast on the Indian Ocean.

Kalbarri is accessible by car about 8 hours north of Perth.  If you are entering from the south, there is a possibility of birding in the scrub south of the Rainbow Jungle at the end of Explorer Road.  We were there around 5pm but didn’t see much.

Eremaea and Frank O’Connor have bird lists.
