Kalbarri National Park is located 485 kilometres (301 mi) north of Perth, in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
The major geographical features of the park include the Murchison River gorge which runs for nearly 80 kilometres (50 mi) on the lower reaches of the Murchison River. Spectacular coastal cliffs are located on the coast near the mouth of the Murchison River and the town of Kalbarri.
There is also an eponymous locality of the Shire of Northampton, but the boundaries of the national park and the locality are not identical.[2][3][4]
