After a short break we head out to some local sand dunes for an adrenaline rush sand boarding down these huge slopes. From here we continue on to the township of Kalbarri and our overnight accommodation. Kalbarri National Park is without a doubt one of the Western Australia's most magnificent and accessible national parks.

Also the wildflowers are about to bloom which adds to the beauty of this great escape destination.
