Point Quobba -Blowholes

Powerful ocean swells force water through sea caves and up out of narrow holes in the rocks, jets of water erupt into the air, sometimes up to a height of 20 metres, creating a spectacular sight.

We stayed two nights at the Quobba Blowholes ground, $20 a night , we decided to leave after two nights as “people” just couldn’t control there dogs, two many off lead! Pal met a chap who was the third generation ownership of one of the beach shacks in the picture , for over 40 years the beach shack owners have been fighting the council with regards to rates etc because the shacks lie on sovereign ground. Some of the instructions the council have tried to implement are they have “told” the owners that the council are going to rent out there shacks , take away the bins, remove the shacks and are going to charge rates. The shacks stretch all the way down the West Coast to Perth and every time they are taken to court all the owners gather together and attend the court hearing and not once has the Council been successful , now if that’s not people power! What I have noticed during this trip is the amount of signs ,do not do this , do not do that , don’t camp here , don’t fish there , so I have one question , if this is sovereign land why do we have to pay to stay here?Read more
