False Entrance Blowholes

Deep blowholes, penetrated by the wave energy through 30-40 m thick rocks. At high swell jets of water rise from the holes. Usually, only air is pushed through the holes with intimidating howls.

Dirk Hartog Island Blowhole

Impressive blowhole at the base of some 40 m high seaside cliffs. At high swells, it creates a deafening noise and shoots up to 60 m high. Then it can be seen from some 20 km distance. Usually it is around 10 m high.

Thunder Bay Blowholes

Unusually powerful blowholes. Here the coastal cliffs (Zuytdorp Cliffs) are more than 100 m high and the wave energy has pierced the rocks, creating several blowholes. If the conditions are right, the splashes are forced up the cliffs and reach the daylight, rising up to 20 m high. There are several more blowholes in this area.

Quobba Blowholes

Quobba Blowholes

Wonderful sight – a group of some 30 blowholes. Water jets are beating up to 30 m high and even higher.

King George Falls

King George Falls, Western Australia

Spectacular, approximately 80 m tall falls. Especially impressive after heavy rain. Stream here is divided in two branches, thus forming two waterfalls.

Donkin Falls

Some 90 m tall waterfall with a single plunge. The stream is perennial.

Shell Beach, L’Haridon Bight

Shell Beach, Western Australia

One of the few beaches in the world that consists exclusively of shells. Here shells extend for 60 kilometers with a 7 -10 m thick layer.

Bundera Sinkhole

Some 70 m deep, flooded sinkhole with anchialine ecosystem – e.g. the groundwater in this cave is connected to the sea, while at the surface is less saline water. Here live unique species of remipedes – Lasionectes exleyi – crustaceans with the only other relative species in the Caribbean as well as some more unique organisms. These organisms are relicts of the Mesozoic era.
