We've been up the highway so many times, usually in quite a hurry to get to Coral Bay and relax, that we have never stopped at the lookout on top of the 'flat hill'. If you've ever been up this way you'll know what we mean. Guess what? We stopped - can't say the photo does it justice but a great view over salt lake to the ocean. Tick!
We stayed the night at point Quobba, free camping, no facilities, but with an ocean view. Not bad. We were situated right next to the Blow Holes, they were really big. The day we had a look they were going full force, blowing water up about 15 metres.
Our next night we spent at Quobba Station. What a great place, reception was lovely, place was definitely a station and they were still fixing things up from the Cylcone, boy has that done some damage around the place, but a great feel to the place. We parked our van up and took off for the day to check out Red Bluff and Gnarloo Bay. Gnarloo Bay is beautiful, a real gem of a place and the station looked quite a great spot to stay if you wanted accommodation without having your own, beautiful little stone and tin huts with a view.
The beach at Quobba Station had the most amazing deposits of HUGE shells, they were everywhere and they request all are left there to retain the beach as it is. The coast here has a real raw energy, its an angry ocean hitting cliff faces and the beaches look ragged. Its really beautiful to see.
A great place to visit.
