Kalbarri Loop Walk
Starting at the iconic Natures Window, follow the loop anticlockwise over the ridge, then into the gorge along the Murchison River. Monkey your way across some spots and keep an eye out for white markers to keep you on route.
The terrain is a mixture of rock, dirt and sand - you will get it all.
BRING PLENTY OF WATER EVEN IN WINTER. The rocks in the gorge emit so much heat even in mid-winter so ensure you bring more water than you think!!! I can't imagine doing this in the summer.
Bring swimmers for the many dip spots along the way.

Manning Gorge Falls (Gibb River Road)
Manning Gorge is one of the most beautiful and best swimming spots in the Kimberley.
Located on Manning Creek in the grounds of the 283,280ha Mt Barnett Station, water remains at the base of the waterfalls and in several pools along the creek year round, ideal for a refreshing dip.
The waterfalls are seasonal and fed by the rains during wet season, so they may be dry the mid to late dry season.
When exploring, you may also come across some examples of Bradshaw and Wandjina rock art.
Visiting the gorge involves an adventurous walk of approximately 3 kilometres to the top of the gorge, following the informal trail markers made up of rock cairns, red discs and arrows. The trail begins at the campground, where visitors must first cross Manning Creek to re-join the trail path on the other side. Visitors may swim the 100 metres across, or use the rope guide with floats to ferry belongings.
The trail follows a route overland rather than along the creek with views over the ranges and savannah woodlands along the way. The terrain is uneven, with some rock scrambling and an incline towards the end. The trail is mostly unshaded, so it is important to bring drinking water and to wear a hat.

Ngank Wen Bidi
The western end of the Island is a marine wildlife haven! New Zealand fur seals can be seen from the viewing platform at Cathedral Rocks and the West End boardwalk is a great place to spot dolphins, and the seasonal migration of humpback whales! The loop circumnavigates the entire West End, guiding you along some of the most remote trail on the Island. The views from the south coast span back to the mainland and all the way to Garden Island. Along the north coast you will encounter bays that may well become your new favourite Rottnest bay! You will not be disappointed.
