Kalbarri, Western Australia (March, 2013)

For the first stop on our Western Australian motorhome adventure with our "mates," the Kemps we headed off to Kalbarri.  We stayed at the Kalbarri Tudor Holiday Park, which was a 6+ hour drive from our house in Kingsley, Western Australia.  We got there rather late and were hoping not to run any kangaroos or emus down with our motorhomes.

The kids had some fun bouncing on the giant air pillow and playing on the playground before we were told to keep quiet.  We had some food and went to bed pretty early.

In the morning we got up and set out to see the tide pools and some of the scenery around Kalbarri.  We drove down to the coast and took a short walk to see the coastal cliffs, then made our way to the tide pools.  Ryder got tossed around in the waves while exploring the pools and cut his knee up pretty bad.  We had to go to the Kalbarri hospital, which is more of a clinic.  We were there a couple hours and Ryder got a couple stitches (the highlight of his day...he couldn't wait to get back to Perth and show his mates).

After waiting around in the hospital so long, we felt we needed to get on our way as Monkey Mia was a bit of a drive and we wanted to see a couple sites on the way in.

Next stop Shell Beach, Denham, and Monkey Mia...
