The completion of the world-class Kalbarri Skywalk project is one step closer, with virtual fly-through footage created by Western Australia’s Parks and Wildlife service.
Work is in progress for the Kalbarri Skywalk and is due to open early 2020!
Two 100m-high skywalks with a connecting boardwalk between them will jut 25m and 17m beyond the rim of the Murchison River Gorge at one of its highest points.
Famous for its exceptional wildflowers, sandstone cliffs and variety of recreational activities, Kalbarri National Park saw over 450,000 visitors in the 2018/19 financial year. By improving access and infrastructure, the park’s unique environment will be showcased to encourage more tourists to explore the town and wide Coral Coast region’s natural heritage.
The Skywalk will become the newest site at the National Park, taking the total number of individual sites to 15. The innovative tourism precinct will be found at the West Loop, opposite the Murchison River bank from the popular Nature’s Window site.
Two Aboriginal rangers have also been employed full time in the national park to help manage the increased tourism levels. The universally accessible site will also include an environmentally friendly kiosk that will operate on low to nil emissions with an off-the-grid energy/power system. There will also be toilets, shade shelters, and improved road and tourism infrastructure.
