The wait is over the Kalbarri Skywalk is now open...
The Kalbarri Skywalk project, which involved the construction of two lookouts extending over the edge of the Murchison River Gorge, has opened in the Kalbarri National Park.
Breathtaking twin skywalks will become a major tourism draw card for Kalbarri, providing stunning vistas of the Murchison River Gorge's rust-red cliffs, flowing water and bushland from high above.
The cantilevered steel structures, which are anchored deep into the sandstone, allow visitors to look down into the gorge through steel mesh. The bigger walkway extends 25 metres out over the gorge edge, which is way further than the Grand Canyon Skywalk in America, so it is quite spectacular.
A complete redevelopment of the existing Z Bend lookout with parking for coaches and large caravans, a kiosk, walking trails, interpretative signage, shade shelters and toilets. The new Skywalk Kalbarri will be universally accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities and they will be able to enjoy feeling like they are floating above the Murchison River Gorge.
