Australian world Heritage

                                            Shark Bay    

Shark bay

  • Shark Bay is the most westerly point on the coast of Australia-although  possibly less well-known than   the most easterly point, Byron Bay. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1991, it covers an area of 2.3 million hectares including a number of peninsulas, islands, bays and inlets. Like the Wet Tropics of Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef and the Tasmanian Wilderness, it fulfills all four criteria of natural values.
