The Blow Holes

Discovered in 1911, the blowholes are located some 70 kilometres north of Carnarvon. The route is via the North West Coastal Highway, not via Bibbawarra Bore tracks.

The blowholes is an area which has attractions for all tastes. A powerful jet of water is forced with terrific pressure through a hole in the rocks, sometimes to a height of 20 metres.

One kilometre south of the blowholes, lies a splendid beach, protected by a coral reef. A small pool adjacent to the island contains tropical fish and shells. Oysters can be prised from the rocks, and crays can be found amongst the reef.

The clear waters are ideal for diving and for watching the marine life. Although beautiful, parts of the area can also be dangerous, so keep a wary eye on the tides and beware of king waves.
