Hold on to your hats, people.

If you have a fear of heights, it’s best you look away now. Coming to Western Australia’s Kalbarri National Park in early 2020 is a leg-trembling vantage point called the Kalbarri Skywalk.

Once opened, visitors will be able to step out over two 100-metre high skywalks with a connecting boardwalk, jutting out 25m and 17m beyond the rim of the Murchison River Gorge.

Known for its wildflowers, sandstone cliffs and adventure activities, the Kalbarri National Park is a naturally scenic spot, which photographers and nature lovers can now witness up-close.

Two Aboriginal rangers have been employed full time in the national park to help manage the increased tourism levels that are expected to come with the new landmark. The site will also include an environmentally friendly kiosk that will produce low-to-no emissions with an off-the-grid energy system.
