19/05/2008: "CAPE CUVIER MEMOIR ..... West Australian line fishing site"

A dive under the wharf would be most spectacular. I saw maybe fifty or more large sharks feeding here. A few really big ones were feasting on a manta ray - well offshore. The location made TV news headlines when whales came close to the rocks to feed on a mass of pilchards in the blue waters below.

The jetty is used to load sea salt onto bulk carriers. The Korean Star was caught in a cyclone and blown onto the rocks where she broke in halves. Rock fishermen frequent the region. Few divers though. The big ocean swells on the West Australian coast make rock hopping a sport for real thrillseekers.

The sheep station at Quoba offers camping and bunkhouse accommodation - hot and dusty everywhere, just like a scene out of a Mexican western movie - minus the cactus. Good fun to experience.
