Flyabout around Australia's Coast - Steep Point, Western Australia

On mainland Australia's coast there are four places which are the extremities of the continent. The most westerly point is, funnily enough, found in Western Australia.

It's this spot, Steep Point, found in the Shark Bay area.

Perhaps it's not quite as remarkable a feature as the other three places - Wilsons Promontory, Cape York and Cape Byron, nor as accessible.


However, this place certainly is steeped in history being in an area touched by the early Dutch navigators. It's near Dirk Hartog Island.
