Discovering the Coral Coast . . .

To discover the Coral Coast of Western Australia we were heading north of Perth
landscape rapidly changing from city to sandy west coast for what it is worth
further along landscape like the moon, with limestone peaks all round
due to onshore strong winds, stunted trees, growing almost parralel to ground

Travelling Australia, nearly forgot to visit charming Coral Coast
where the Murchison River flows into Indian Ocean, Kalbarry your host
the climate sunny, warm, experiences that only occur once in a lifetime
wild flowers you've never seen before, exotic shapes, perfumed, sublime

Calm waters in estuaries for swimming, by towering cliffs be awestruck
surfing, water skiing, fishing off beach, catching that big one, your luck
want more, go canoeing or hire a boat and enjoy a cruising , lazy day
see dolphins, whales, up close, take pictures to remember your stay

Shopping, accommodation, variety immense, magnificient shopping mall
holiday resorts or just pitching a tent,emergency services on call
nature lovers, Kalbarry National Park close by, nature's paradise found
glimpses of river, magnificient gorges, their brilliant colours will astound

Interesting views of river, waterfalls, taking many days to fully explore
incredible scenery, rock formations framing river, sometimes far below
endangered species of birds, a parrot sanctuary in town, a must see
daily feeding of pelicans on foreshore, stroll downtown or see a movie

Stargazing, songs by campfire, fantastic sunsets, like nowhere else, watch
changing colours of multi-coloured cliffs, never seen such display match
abseiling, sight seeing flight along coastline, there is an internet cafe
if you have the time, to keep your friends and family informed of stay

Started with Shell Beach, in setting sun white as snow, a promising start
to enjoy holidays at Kalbarry is easy, one doesn't have to try very hard
returning home, stories to tell, adventures relived, it was only a week
wondering why we didn't do it before, must go back for another peek
