Please take great care not 30 28 27 71 9 000 to disturb nesting seabirds. If you do go ashore, it is better to 8 6 54 5 000 40 walk along the shoreline, or well defined paths, rather than across 25 28° 28° 40' 40' 68 the islands, as you may destroy seabird nesting burrows. 40 47 S S 68 N= 34 41 44 Wallabi Group WA 999 Side A CODE OF CONDUCT 46 N= When you visit the Abrolhos, remember - this is a special place 48 46 that needs your protection. ● Private property - The residences, jetties and rainwater 51 42 tanks of commercial fishermen on the 22 islands designated 54 52 48 for their use are private property. You may land on the 45 40 41 46 43 33’ islands, but you may not use the facilities (including jetties) 45 33’ unless you have written permission on board your boat from 48 the owner. You may not stay in fishermen's camps unless the 45 29 owner is present. 54 23 42 ● 42 51 If you are unable to use a public mooring, please endeavour 43 to anchor away from sensitive marine habitats, particularly 59 47 coral and seagrass areas. 46 29 ● Take your rubbish away with you - don't drop it in the water. 53 ● Only take enough fish for your personal consumption. ● Take care not to disturb birds and other wildlife on the 49 46 islands. ● Don't pump bilges in the shallows - the effluent can harm 57 marine life. 34’ ● When diving, avoid standing on fragile corals - they break 42 34’ 53 48 52 easily. 56 48 Easter Group WA 998 Side A MOORINGS 59 A number of environmentally-friendly public moorings have been 59 installed at sensitive marine sites and popular diving spots around 44 the Houtman Abrolhos.

Australia’s heritage places are a source of great national pride. Each and every site tells a unique Australian story. These places and stories have laid the foundations of our shared national identity upon which our communities are built. The treasured places and their stories featured throughout this book represent Australia’s remarkably diverse natural environment. Places such as the Glass House Mountains and the picturesque Australian Alps. Other places celebrate Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture—the world’s oldest continuous culture on earth—through places such as the Brewarrina Fish Traps and Mount William Stone Hatchet Quarry.

This Recovery plan was approved by the Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia. Approved Recovery Plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community, and the completion of recovery actions.

  • Explore History, Culture & Nature
    EXPLORE HISTORY, CULTURE & NATURE CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF AUSTRALIA > 60 DAYS > DEPARTING DARWIN 30 OCTOBER 2021 DESTINATIONS THAT SHAPED AUSTRALIA The great unknown land, Terra Australis Incognita, was for centuries imagined but uncharted, before explorers sailed to the edge of the world to find it. They discovered a land which had been inhavited by millenia by many indigenous tribes who lived throughout the vast island continent, and from that moment created a new history with both magnificent and terrible deeds. 2020 was the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s landing, the 200th anniversary of Phillip Parker King’s explorations, and the 35th anniversary of Coral Expeditions. Celebrating 35 years of pioneering expeditions, we take a voyage to circumnavigate this great land, to see the coast the way that mariners throughout history have seen it, and to explore key historical sites that shaped Australia. Below are just some of the highlights. Use the key to interpret activities at each location. > Careening Bay, Western Australia > Adventure Bay & Maria Island, Tasmania > Cygnet Bay, Western Australia > Flinders Island, Tasmania > Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia > Twofold Bay, New South Wales > Montebello Islands, Western Australia > Broken Bay, New South Wales > Shark Bay, Western Australia > Fraser Island, Queensland > Houtman Abrolhos, Western Austalia > Great Keppel Island, Queensland > Busselton, Western Australia > Percy Islands, Queensland > Augusta, Western Australia > Magnetic Island, Queensland > Albany, Western Australia > Uluru, Northern Territory > Archipelago of the Recherche, WA > Cooktown & Endeavour Reef, Queensland > Head of the Bight, South Australia > Lizard Island, Queensland > Kangaroo Island, South Australia > Stanley Island, Queensland > Port Fairy, Victoria > Restoration Island, Queensland > King Island, Tasmania > The Tip of Cape York, Queensland MARITIME HISTORY NATURE ART & CULTURE THE EXPEDITION EXPERIENCE With only 50 staterooms available for this voyage, this is an intimate and personal journey of discovery.

  • 17 November 2017 Dear Parents the DUKE of EDINBURGH's
    17 November 2017 Dear Parents THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S INTERNATIONAL AWARD PLC and SCOTCH COLLEGE ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY 2018 (Friday 20 April – Friday 27 April) In 2018 Scotch College and PLC are introducing a new opportunity for our Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award participants. The tour is to the Abrolhos Islands and is scheduled to run in the second week of the April school holidays (to minimise the impact on other school commitments). This expedition will be a unique experience for students and gives them the opportunity to visit an area only a privileged few ever get to see. Although this is the first time the Colleges have offered this particular tour it has been running in other capacities for many years. Safety is always the number one priority and the operators we use are of the highest calibre and work with many school groups. On board the training vessel there will be a skipper, two dive instructors, a dive master, plus Scotch and PLC staff members. Below is a link to a YouTube video from previous trips which have included similar activities to what are planned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TyX3DhDc24 This tour is different than previous tours because it has been individually designed to support the requirements of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. The two main sections the journey will focus on are the Skills and Adventurous Journey. Furthermore, the trip will promote extensive experiences in the areas outlined below. • Maritime history and archaeology - a large component of any trip to the ‘Shipwreck Coast’ is exploring the maritime history of Western Australia through the example of the Batavia shipwreck.
