No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Gregory

Hutt Lagoon

Hutt Lagoon is located near Port Gregory, approx. 60 km from Kalbarri, and is one of the area's representative natural views. It is a high-salinity lake, and its striking feature is that the water can appear pink, rose-red, purplish-red, or red, creating a sharp contrast with the surrounding light-colored salt flats, green vegetation, and the coastal view in the distance. The lake's unique color is mainly related to carotenoid pigments produced by microorganisms such as Dunaliella salina. The color of the lake surface is not always consistent; it is affected by factors such as sunlight, cloud cover, season, rainfall, and water salinity. Therefore, when visiting at different times, you may see different views ranging from light pink to vibrant red.

Kalbarri National Park

In the over 180,000-hectare inland adventure playground of Kalbarri National Park, dramatic and rugged gorges, brilliant wildflowers, and the iconic, unique attraction Nature's Window make Kalbarri National Park a renowned classic destination in Western Australia. Go hiking in the bush or through the gorges, or go canoeing on the Murchison River to embark on a 400-million-year journey through time, when ancient ocean mudflats formed the striking rust-red sandstone seen today, and the power of nature carved out the deep, dramatic coastline. In addition to Nature's Window, which frames the surrounding natural scenery into a beautiful picture, The Loop, Z Bend, Ross Graham, Red Bluff Lookout, and Pot Alley are all must-visit spots, where you can enjoy magnificent views from the lookouts. Between July and October, over 1,100 species of wildflowers paint this rugged land with soft spring colors. Kalbarri National Park is located 590 km north of Perth, and it takes about a 6-hour drive. Please note: The breathtaking geological wonders here are non-renewable resources formed by millions of years of erosion and evolution. For safety and conservation reasons, please do not climb or perform dangerous actions such as hanging off ledges.

Leaning Tree

Leaning Tree is a strange natural phenomenon where strong sea winds from the Indian Ocean cause the trees to lean... Wait, they are practically lying flat! They are truly the couch potatoes of the tree world. Although the area where they are located, Greenough, has large private sections, you can pull over on Brand Highway to take photos. Greenough is located north of Perth, a drive of about 4.5 hours, and south of Geraldton, a drive of about 20 minutes.

HMAS Sydney II Memorial

Cenotaph is located on Mount Scott and was built to commemorate the 645 sailors who lost their lives on the HMAS Sydney II during World War II. In 1941, the HMAS Sydney II sank after a surprise attack by the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran. The central part of the Cenotaph is a massive, silver, open-air dome supported by seven pillars, representing the seven states and territories of Australia. The dome is composed of 645 silver seagulls, symbolizing the souls of the fallen. The names of the 645 fallen sailors are inscribed on the memorial wall. Near the silver dome, there is also a towering Cenotaph shaped like a ship's bow, along with a bronze statue of a woman waiting for her loved one to return. Because the Cenotaph is located on a hill, you can overlook the cityscape of Geraldton and gaze out at the ocean from here.

Nature's Window

Nature's Window is located in Kalbarri National Park, about 6 hours' drive from Perth. Its marvelous structure makes it famous all over the world, and there is an endless stream of people coming to check in. This hollow rock is a unique work of nature, like a natural picture frame, which cleverly freezes the scenery of the Murchison River. The stacked brick-red cliffs and light camel-colored river banks dotted with green vegetation are an iconic combination of Kalbarri. In addition to taking a standard tourist photo, 360° panoramic photos, or just sitting and meditating, thinking with your chin in your hand are all suitable.   If you like the starry sky, it is also very nice to use Nature's Window as the foreground to take a stunning photo of the Southern Hemisphere Star River!
