Steep Point

We would have happily stayed a couple of days in Denham and done some fishing around Shark Bay but it was very windy so we decided to move on. We had a quick stop at Shell Beach; this place was great as there wasn’t any sand just billions of small cockle shells.

We then dropped in at Tamala Station where we left the trailer so that we could drive out to Steep Point for the night. Steep Point is the western most point of the Australian mainland. It was very beautiful scenery out there but it was really windy while we were there and the wind was cold! But we signed the visitors book and checked out why this place is also known for being a great fishing destination – we could see huge fishing swimming around in the water, and Jaime and Aidan even spotted a Spanish Mackerel shoot across the surface and catch a fish. It was just too windy for us to stay there and fish, we would have been blown off the cliffs!

Here is a quick video message from Aidan and Cody from Steep Point - sorry if it is a bit difficult to hear them - it was very windy!

While drivng back from Steep Point, we did have a lot of fun driving over the sand dunes and we stopped a couple of times so that we could run up and leap off the top of the sand dunes and slide down the side.
