Kalbarri is a resort town situated on the Western Australian coast 590 kilometres north of Perth. An ideal tourist destination, the area abounds with natural beauty, not the least being a variety of wondrous inland gorges winding their way almost invisibly through a vast, seemingly uninteresting landscape.

It never has been the kind of place to happen upon, or glimpse in passing, mainly because it is off the beaten track and a long, tedious drive from the main highway. Because of this, those who take the Ajana road do so deliberately out of choice, or necessity.

In June 2000, a new road was constructed south down the coast to link with the smaller location of Port Gregory. This now provides tourists who don’t have the luxury of a 4-wheel drive with easier access to the coastal gorges and an alternative approach route.

But, that was to come later. The story about to unfold takes place in 1992 when the one way in to Kalbarri was the only way out.
