These are cliffs that run alongside the continental shelf of WA, this is the closest the land gets (headland) to the deep blue. The water in the pic is probably about 50m deep in front. This is near ningaloo-exmouth. This part is just private farming land thats been turned into a tourist/local holiday destination 'Quobba station'. The mine to your left in the video is a salt mine, all private and you can't go near it. In front is
Garth's Rock - made famous by Max Garth in Fishing World magazine 'Mackerel on the fly'. You can literally catch any pelagic you want off that rock: Cobia, King Mackerel, Tuna, Longtail, Sailfish, Marlin. I had a go but wrong period of day and the southerly wind was shocking - just about blow you off the rocks. Still, had little mackies chasing my lure and seen some massive shadows go past. Heaps of fun hey, wish I could have stayed fishing all day (if it weren't for the missus). It's pretty trecherous country, misses and kids scared the entire time of the cliff drop. Yeah, Australia is pretty unpopulated still plenty of vast space to roam.
If you were thinking of travel here, go to Exmouth - Ningaloo that's the centre of the action. oh, lol and Ningaloo / Exmouth area is definitely protected area. There are a few around this area that have been officially protected - Ningaloo reef, Coral Bay, Shark Bay - for various reasons.
