Murchison House Station-Dirk Hartog Island
The Missus and I recently had a quick trip from Perth to Dirk Hartog island and back and I thought I'd throw a few pics up.
On the way up we decided to camp at an old favourite, "Murchison House Station" this is situated about 15km from Kalbarri, and around 6 hours drive from Perth. The property is a working Goat station on the banks of the Murchison river and is 350,000 acres of camping bliss. We spent two nights here, which gave us a chance to break the drive up and have a bit of a bush break with a campfire. We didn't explore much around the station this time as we've been here previously. Though the wild flowers were out in abundance, this is the best time of the year to go camping in WA I think.

One of the many views that can be found while exploring the station: This one overlooks the Murchison River.

Old man emu had a couple of chicks in tow, buggers are hiding in this pic though.

The property really has some stunning locations and a variety of terrain and views.

While we were in this neck of the woods we ducked down to the Kalbarri NP to check out the new skywalk they have built. I think they've done an awesome job of it and it blends in with the surroundings very well. There are two bridges they have built jutting out from the gorge face.

Another old favourite and very popular spot is nearby, this one is called Nature's window.

The next stop on the agenda was a night at Steep Point ready for an early morning departure on the barge. I'll continue the trip report in the next post.
