Things to see and do Western Australia

The city has a arboretum where many trees were planted by Australian celebrities, such as singer John Farnham, Directors Baz Luhrmann and Rolf Harris, and prominent politicians.

Opened since 1901. It is the largest and most accessible of the three caves (Mammoth, Jewel and Lake cellars). There is no guided tour for this cave but an audio tour with MP 3 players.

Gnamma Holes are proof of genius in the art of Aboriginal survival. In fact, they widened in the flat rock a few holes to collect rainwater. To keep this clean water, the holes were covered with sand. It served as a filter and prevented mosquitoes and larvae from polluting water. Then it was enough to dig into the sand so that the water would be filtered.

If you are a lover of art, it is absolutely necessary to stop in this gallery.

A slightly steep descent allows you to reach this refreshing natural swimming pool where you can swim.

Indicated by a road panel, you will always see people stopping there to take pictures of their passage on this imaginary land line.

In June 1801, a French expedition under the command of Nicolas Baudin and Emmanuel Hamelin began a thorough exploration of Shark Bay. The island that was discovered here bears the name of François-Xavier Faure, the geographer of the vessel Le Naturaliste.
