Onslow - Fishing & Crabbing - Western Australia
 

For the fisherpersons among us, there is plenty of opportunity to catch a feed in Onslow. Throw in a line at the groyne or try Four Mile Creek.

Cruise the many creek systems in a boat or explore the many islands near Onslow. Visit the Mackerel Islands, often described as a

fisherman's paradise. There are 10 islands located 23 kilometres off the coast. Thevenard Island, a six kilometre long coral atoll, boasts

perfect white beaches, abundant fish, and spectacular coral for snorkelling.

EXPLORING THE WORLD

AROUND YOU

It has been said that our planet is really just a insignificant speck in a vast universe, but that's not true! In fact, the conditions for life found on earth are supremely unique and make our life here comfortable. This despite the reality that the world around us is also tainted and in need of careful calibration in order to continue. This book opens a window to the spectacular environments found on our planet, from deserts to the tropics. Creationist researcher and biologist Dr. Gary Parker brings vast knowledge of ecology to a teaching setting, exploring and explaining ecosystems, population growth, habitats, adaptations, energy problems, and much more. Learn about insect control in California, why mammals have fur, and how sharks maintain 'friendships' with small fish known as remora. Exploring the World Around You brings the varieties of our planet's habitats alive to the reader, and is a wonderful learning tool complete with illustrations, chapter tests, and an index.
