Nature's Window

Nature's Window is a natural wind-eroded sandstone arch in Kalbarri National Park, Western Australia, about 30 km east of Kalbarri town. Framing the Murchison River gorge, it is one of the park's most photographed features. Formed in Tumblagooda Sandstone, the window offers layered views of the river and gorge and is accessed via a short walking trail from the car park.

Visitors can expect a short walk from the Nature's Window car park to a natural sandstone arch that frames views of the Murchison River and its steep gorge. The setting is arid, with red and white banded sandstone cliffs, spinifex and low scrub. A paved and then natural trail leads to the window and adjacent lookouts with interpretive signage. The area is exposed with little shade and offers photo opportunities and gorge views.

The arch was formed by natural wind and weather erosion of the Tumblagooda Sandstone, deposited about 400 million years ago. The Murchison River gorge has been carved over millions of years. The area lies within Kalbarri National Park, gazetted in 1963 to protect the gorge system and surrounding heathlands.
