Scott Point

To continue the story of Guilden Zeepard, this was the most easterly point they plotted on this coast. The Bight presented them with 200 kilometres of unbroken and impenetrable cliffs, then with massive sand dunes at this, eastern end of their reach which didn’t offer a harbour or provide any water.
The senior officer of the fleet left a mark with his name on the maps, with Cape Nuyts and Nuyts Archipelago Marine Park (adjacent to Fowler Bay) and Nuytsland Nature Reserve which is a strip of the coast from east of Esperance stretching to just shy of the WA/SA border.

We were surprised at how remote and wild this place is. Again we have it to ourselves. Massive sand dunes fringe the coast with salt pans in behind. Walking on the beach we were entertained by gymnastic antics of large flocks of Red Necked Stints, furiously feeding Silver Gulls and soaring Pacific Gulls.
So many adventure options available for 4x4 drivers. The local maps are crisscrossed with tracks.Read more
