Quobba

This is the look when you're in country where there are cattle - the flies get into your eyes ears nose and mouth.
Quobba Station is south of Coral Bay with a very rugged coastline in between .We camped near the blowhole. Here the sea is very calm - on the day we left you couldn't get near this outcrop and the water was spoutting up to 20 metres high.


I thought the sea was rough but the waves wash right over these rocks.People have lost their life when fishing here. It's the Indian Ocean and king waves can come up at any time.


The sanddunes were covered with wild flowers. They have had quite a bit of rain so these come up and bloom very quickly.The lighthouse in the middle was the only light at night -except for the stars.

Beautiful spot there near the blowholes. When we were there we saw whales very close to shore, amazing! We stayed at red bluff, a bit further than Quobba. Pretty rough road...
