After breakfast we saw 3 emus gathered around a tree. To our amazement we watched one of the birds try to reach the berries by stretching its neck; when it realised it couldn't reach it jumped up and grabbed a beakful. We didn't know they did that. We managed another early start today and started our drive back to Perth with an overnight stop at a small place on the coast called Kalbarri. A pretty little town (probably what we would call a village) the views of the Indian Ocean are quite spectacular and there are houses to match the view. We wanted to go and visit an area within the Kalbarri National Park known as Nature's Window but on being told that temperatures there could be as high as 50C we decided to take a dip in the pool instead!
