Perth to Monkey Mia road trip: Distance, driving time and attractions

Perth to Monkey Mia drive: Shark Bay attractions

Then, on the way from Kalbarri to Denham, you can tackle the inland section of the Kalbarri National Park. This is all red rock gorges above the Murchison River. Nature’s Window and the Kalbarri Skywalk provide amazing lookouts.

After Kalbarri comes Shark Bay, a World Heritage site for both natural and cultural reasons. The stromatolites of Hamelin Pool are examples of the oldest living things on earth, while the World Heritage Discovery Centre in Denham tells tales of early Dutch exploration of Western Australia.

Denham accommodation choices include the chalets at the Denham Seaside Caravan Park and the roomy Shark Bay Seafront Apartments.

And finally… Francois Peron National Park and Monkey Mia.
