Kalbarri National Park

Kalbarri National Park is located 485 kilometres (301 mi) north of Perth, in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

[5] The western edge of the park protects the coastline south of the town which features cliffs more than 100 metres (328 ft) high.

The coastal area contains several wind and water eroded rock formations including a sea stack and a natural bridge.

[6] Twenty-one plant species are found only in the coastal cliff tops and gorge country predominantly in the National Park.

Approximately 150 bird species have been observed including the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax) and Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus).

Some of the recorded mammal species in the interior include the western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus), short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and spinifex hopping mouse (Notomys alexis).

About 30 different arthropods have been recorded including a dragonfly called the Pilbara tiger (Ictinogomphus dobsoni) and the savanna black tree ant (Tetraponera punctulata).
