WHALE OF A TIME
Many who visit Warroora are there for the
fishing. With the Ningaloo reef so close, the
fishing is fantastic either from the shore, the
rocks or a tinnie.
The property operates as a ‘wilderness
fishing ethos’ and is dedicated to ensuring
the long-term sustainability of the local fish,
so catches are limited to 5kg.
But that is not all: you can also enjoy
surfing, snorkelling, whale watching and
plenty of time relaxing.
Martin suggested that the best waves
tosurf are at The Lagoon while Stevens
SurfBreak is perfect for an early morning
paddle board. Maggies is the best place for
swim or a snorkel and shovelnose sharks
anbe spotted at Pelican Point. Sunsets
respectacular, especially at Black Moon
Cliffand the million-starlit night sky is
unforgettable.
Avariety of migratory whales, whale
harks and manta rays cruise the coast, and
more than 300 species of coral thrive in
thewarm waters of the Leeuwin Currentthat flows south to Tasmania. Ningaloo also
supports more than 1000 fish species and
three species of turtle. All of these can be
spotted along the Warroora coastline.
Martin told me how he spotted a great
white shark gorging on a whale’s carcass
— not something you would expect to see
every day! But then did you know that orcas
visit the Ningaloo Reef regularly?
Another piece of information that few
people realise is that the Tropic of Capricorn
reaches the Indian Ocean on Warroora
Station. While the position is not signposted
and access to that area of the property is
restricted, at least you now know the answer
for that trivia question.
On my final night, I enjoyed the hospitality
of Marty and his family and friends at Black
Moon Cliff, watching the sun go down while
eating fresh sushi from the day’s catch.
It just topped off an amazing time spent
at Warroora Station, a great destination
practising sustainability as an eco-friendly
wilderness experience on the exceptional
Ningaloo Coast.pa
