Port Headland, Dampier, Marble Bar, Coastal Pilbara, Outback
So you thought the Kimberly's had some good facts about it. Well the Pilbara is estimated to be about 2.5 billion years old (one of the Earth's oldest land masses....not bloody bad eh!). Not to mention Australia's largest national park (Karijini National Park), covering 100,000 square kilometres with chasms stretching 100-metre high with crystal clear rock pools and cascading waterfalls below.
The Dampier Archipelago is a group of 42 islands with pristine waters and sheltered bays. Fishing, snorkeling, diving and boating are the things you will enjoy here. While off the Pilbara coast you will also be able to go whale and turtle watching. The mother land to Australian Aboriginals ensures that the culture and pastime is etched and painted on the areas rocks and walls. More than 10,000 of these engravings are on the Burrup Peninsula, located near Dampier and tell of the age of the Dreamtime (the most beautiful of beliefs - make sure you find out about this).
