At the the very tip, Point Quobba features
crystal clear water and white sand beaches. But just north of the
tip, the shore is a limestone shelf that has been crated by millennia of
waves devouring the soft rock. Cracks through the crumbling shelf
give Mother Nature the opportunity to produce a show rivaling Old
Faithful as the incoming waves shoot 30 or 40 feet in the air through
blowholes.
A plaque on the shelf asks: "Is fishing from here really worth your life?" and lists the people who must have thought so and tragically lost their lives there. |

| "Surfs Up!" most of the time in Western Australia. But the rocky coast makes it a dangerous passtime. At the lonely beach near Kalbarri, a single life ring hangs at a stand on shore ... just in case there's anyone around when this surfer wipes out on the rocks. | |

The Great Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet with a violent handshake at Leeuwin Point at the south end of Western Australia. |

| Another perfect sunset, this time at 80-Mile Beach, the only place to stay (in a caravan park) along the 524-mile drive from Broome to Karratha. | |
