Description:
Few towns are situated in such a unique location. Bounded by a contrast of a fabulous, world-class marine park on one side, and rugged ranges on the other, this ideal setting makes Exmouth such a great place to visit. The town is a mecca for fishermen, seeking those catches that they only dream about, which quickly become reality once they sink a line. Swimming with Whale Sharks, Snorkelling and diving the reefs, all those close encounters with nature you always wanted to do.
Exmouth is roughly 13 hours drive from Perth. Most people use air charter or travel by coach. If you wish to drive, use Brand Highway (Route 1), Northwest Coastal Highway and then take the turnoff to Exmouth (200km). | |
