Nice experience at the homestead- my 5yo boy loved the shearing sheds and the artesian hot tub. 45-60 min drive to the tip of the peninsiula through soft sand. Doable in my Landcruiser but would need high clearance i believe. Nice walks and lookouts at the end of the drive. More

Go in the shoulder season when the place isn't teeming with people. the experience is better when the weather is warmer as the sea critters are around (Dugongs and Turtles etc) the red dirt meeting blue sea is truly spectactular! More

We came to the entrance of the park and wanted to pay our fee for the park, which you have to do yourself because there is no staff around to collect the money. Well, first thing: Make sure you have 11 Dollars, you don't wanna put your 50 dollar note into that box! We took a map of the park... More

The highlight of Shark Bay is definitely a tour into Francois Peron National Park. To enter this NP you need a 4WD vehicle. Our 4WD Wicked Camper was perfect! First we had a very interesting guided visit at Peron Homestead and experienced real station life. Then we started off to explore the rich red sand dune landscape and picturesque turquoise... More

We did go into the park, but went no further than the old homestead as we only had an suv and weren't prepared to risk going any further without a 4WD. The museum set-up inside the shed is interesting as is the artesian pool with water coming in from a bore at 40 - 60 deg C. Wear bathers and... More

As we did not have a 4WD we only visited the old sheep station which was an interesting insight of the hardships endured by our pioneers - It is well set up and worth the short drive in More

We were keen to visit the Francois Peron NP having red up about it and it did not disappoint. We spent the whole day there and it still wasn't enough to see it all and spend time looking at the excellent marine wildlife. Access is off the Denham - Monkey Mia road - pick up a map and pay at... More
