You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kalbarri''' is a coastal town in the [[Mid West (Western Australia)|Mid West]] region located ((cvt|592|km)) north of [[Perth]], [[Western Australia]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/Internet/Regions/touring_wa/distance_perth.asp#K |title=Main Roads - Distances from Perth |year=2006 |access-date=7 September 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080726115032/http://www2.mainroads.wa.gov.au/Internet/Regions/touring_wa/distance_perth.asp |archive-date=26 July 2008 ))</ref> The town is located at the mouth of the [[Murchison River (Western Australia)|Murchison River]], which has an elevation of ((convert|6|m|ft|0)).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_008251.shtml|title=Australian Bureau of Meteorology - Climate Summary statistics KALBARRI|year=2008|access-date=8 September 2008))</ref> It is connected by public transport to Perth via [[Transwa]] coach services N1 and N2.

== History ==
Kalbarri is a part of the traditional lands of the [[Nanda people]] who were recognised as the [[traditional owners]] of more than ((convert|17000|km2)) of land and water in the Yamatji region, in Western Australia, on 28 November 2018. Nanda people have been awarded exclusive native title rights over several key areas including Paradise Flats, Bully, Wilgie Mia, Mooliabatanya and Syphon pools.

The story of the Beemarra serpent is the central dreaming story of Nanda people. The Beemarra is, according to Nanda culture, an ancestral being responsible for the creation of the land and waters in the region<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.creativespirits.info/ozwest/kalbarri/aboriginalhistory.html|title=Kalbarri Aboriginal history|year=2008|access-date=2008-09-08|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080722074353/http://www.creativespirits.info/ozwest/kalbarri/aboriginalhistory.html|archive-date=22 July 2008))</ref>

Kalbarri was named after an Aboriginal man from the Nanda tribe and is also the name of an edible seed.<ref>((LandInfo WA|c|K|2008-09-09))</ref>

The cliffs near the river mouth were named after a trading ship, the ''[[Zuytdorp]]'', that was wrecked there in 1712.<ref>((cite web

The area became a popular fishing and tourist spot in the 1940s and by 1948 the state government declared a townsite. Lots were soon surveyed and the town was gazetted in 1951.

In April 2021 the town suffered serious damage from [[Tropical Cyclone Seroja]].<ref name="abc-seroja-damage-apr'21">((cite news |last1=Weber |first1=David |title=Holiday town decimated after tropical cyclone travels unusually far south down WA coast |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-12/cyclone-seroja-wreaks-havoc-wa-one-mile-jetty-destroyed/100062020 |access-date=12 April 2021 |publisher=ABC News |location=Australia |date=11 April 2021 |language=en-AU))</ref>

== Tourism ==
The town is geared towards tourism and fishing, with attractions including the daily [[pelican]] feeding, the [[Kalbarri National Park]], [[Murchison River Gorge]] and the [[Murchison River (Western Australia)|Murchison River]]. There are two charter boats to go on to view the Murchison River. The town attracts 200,000 tourists every year, with the population of the town swelling to 8,000 during holiday seasons. Electricity to the town and hotels is supplied by a fragile 33kV power line from the central grid. To increase [[Ancillary services (electric power)|grid stability]], a 5MW/2MWh [[Battery storage power station|grid battery]] is installed.<ref>((cite web |last1=Vorrath |first1=Sophie |title=Western Australia's first big battery delivered to Kalbarri microgrid |url=https://onestepoffthegrid.com.au/western-australias-first-big-battery-delivered-to-kalbarri-microgrid/ |website=One Step Off The Grid |date=17 December 2019))</ref>

The [[Kalbarri National Park]] is home to a phenomenon of geography and geology known as the [[Z Bend]], a tourist lookout, and "Nature's Window", a rock formation overlooking hundreds of kilometres of Murchison River. The Rainbow Jungle (The Australian Parrot Breeding Centre), located a few kilometres south of the town centre, features hundreds of exotic species of birds in their native habitat plus a walk-in cage allowing humans to interact with the birds. Red Bluff and other coastal cliffs and formations are located south of the town.
