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.

Come back out of the tidal creek. Man, the midges were thick. Don't forget the repellent!

Input pumping station for the salt evaporation ponds. This area is restricted and is not open to the public.
