Grey's Spring is a small historical site in Kalbarri commemorating the 1839 expedition of George Grey, one of the more dramatic episodes in early Western Australian exploration. Grey and his party were in desperate straits — they had been shipwrecked on the Murchison coast and were walking south in poor condition — when they found the spring in the coastal dunes near the river mouth.
The spring itself is modest — a natural seep in the low scrub near the beach — but the commemorative marker and the historical context give it more significance than it might otherwise warrant. For those interested in colonial exploration history, it is a short detour from the beach. The location near the estuary makes it a pleasant spot in its own right, with views across the river mouth and the opportunity to spot pelicans and wading birds in the shallows.
