Quobba Coast and Gnaraloo Station

North of Carnarvon, WA, the Quobba coast is a stunning coastline – very rugged with massive waves breaking over the rocky cliffs. The blowholes at Point Quobba were amazing – sometimes shooting water up to 10 metres. While we were there a few whales were frolicking about on their migration up north. 




















We headed up to Gnaraloo Station to camp for a few days. The road in was absolutely atrocious! The campsite, however, was fantastic, and well worth the rough trip in. We had a view of the ocean – so we could “whale watch” from our campsite.  There was some interesting bike riding along the sand dunes. There was also a lagoon for snorkelling, but unfortunately, very strong winds came up the day after we got there – so our new snorkelling gear didn’t get used.

  1. Amazing. Gorgeous coastline, whales frolicking and sand dunes to ride on. Enjoy you lucky things.
    The wind and the dirt roads can be a bit of a pain . Roads at Kalbarri were horrible when I was there but the wild flowers and landscape more than made up for it.

  2. Loving the blog updates. The photos are fantastic. There's a little bit of Mad Max in the sand dune photos - with fat bikes. Safe travels,
