Description:Considered by many to offer the most breathtaking view in the park, the Z-Bend lookout can be reached by a 1.4km return walk from the car park. Gazing down, the gorge plunges 150 metres to the river below, where river redgums create a striking contrast against the earthy Tumblagooda sandstone. Kalbarri is a 6-hour drive north of Perth.
