  • Fishing & Boating

    Adresse:
    Warroora Station, Lyndon WA, Australia .

    Ningaloo Reef is a popular destination for recreational fishing. Species such as Spanglers emperor, Coral trout, Spanish mackerel and Trevally are just a few. 

    Whether fishing for a delicious catch for dinner or catching and release, please refer to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development DPIRD Recreational Fishing Guide about the zones and various activities, including spearfishing. 

    Be aware of Sanctuary zones; they are 'look but don't take' marine areas. They are protected nursery and schooling areas for important fish species. 

    Fish Feeding Frenzies occur regularly and give the viewer the thrill of seeing Marine Mother Nature in jam-packed action. Sharks congregate in hundreds & sometimes whales too to feed on big black schools of pilchards which are herded into shore.

    Tips

    1. anchor on the sand, never on coral
    2. boat launching facilities are available for use at Coral Bay
    3. there are informal launch areas at 14 Mile beach, not suitable for launching large boats
    4. Please note that private mooring in the marine park is not permitted without lawful authority from DBCA

  • Bush walk, bird life & flora

    Warroora Station is 266,000 acres of untouched rangelands, home to dozens of native animals, prolific birdlife and beautiful flora, mainly after rains when hundreds of acres are carpeted with wildflowers.

    Visitors enjoy just watching the wildlife up close. Marvel at two young buck kangaroos having a "boxing match", or watch Old Man Emu manage his brood of up to a dozen young chicks.

    Watch Sea Eagles and Ospreys hunt for a fish, or hypnotise yourself lying back and taking in the perfect symmetry of giant Wedge Tail Eagles hunting for their prey.

    Safe walking tips

    1. Carry adequate water (3lt per person) and wear sunscreen, long sleeves and a hat. 
    2. Before leaving, tell a responsible friend or family member where you plan to walk and when you expect to return. Remember to let them know when you've returned safely. 

    Warroora is currently working with the Baiyungy people on an exciting concept: a coastal walk that will bring to life the story of the castaways from the wreck of the Barque Stefano and how the early custodians of this land save them. 

  • Marine life

    Adresse:
    Warroora, Lyndon WA 6701, Australia .

    Marine life is in abundance with whale sharks, migratory whales, manta rays, dolphins, turtles and sharks and countless other fish and marine animals.

    Migratory HUMPBACK WHALES are a constant feature for several months of the year and can be easily seen from the shore, playing almost constantly on the reef’s outer edge. It is truly a fantastic sight to see one of these massive mammals launch their bodies entirely out of the water as they show off to all who are watching. Humpback whales migrate between summer polar feeding areas and winter tropical breeding and calving grounds. They are travelling along the coast from June to October. 

    Ningaloo Reef is one of the few places in the world where WHALE SHARKS sharks appear regularly and are easily accessible to observers. Coral Bay offers tours from March to July.
