What awaits you at The Murchison Experience: History, Canoeing & Campfire Cuisine
Visit Murchison House Station
Explore the homestead at Murchison House Station and immerse yourself in its rich history. Stroll through the grounds while discovering both past and present stories about the station and Kalbarri area. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with the area’s heritage.
Canoeing Expedition

Campfire Banquet
After your canoeing adventure, return to the campfire where a hearty feast awaits:
Appetizers
The adventure begins with our Kangaroo baby pie, a savory treat encased in flaky pastry, embodying the spirit of the Australian outback. Complementing this is our pumpkin and sage mini quiche, where fresh herbs meet creamy cheese in a harmonious dance of textures and flavors.
Entrées
Savor the exquisite Shark Bay prawn arancini. Golden, crispy bites that perfectly marry the briny essence of the sea with the comforting richness of arborio rice. For a touch of European flair, savor our Cockles alla Provenzale, cooked with aromatic herbs and a hint of garlic that will transport you to the sunny shores of Provence.
Mains
Taste the star of our local catch cooked over the flames: Shark Bay crumbed whiting with zesty salad brings a golden crunch and a fresh coastal kick. Savour the final dish: camp oven goat ragout with homemade gnocchi. The perfect way to round out our bush cook-up with a touch of Nonna’s kitchen.
Dessert
Conclude your culinary journey with a slice of camp oven cake, adorned with luscious caramel and coconut icing.
Drink Options
Accompany your meal with a selection of drinks, tailored to enhance each dish:
beer, red wine, white wine, cider, soft drinks and non-alcoholic sparkling.
